Nietzsche outlined a distinction between two central forces in art: the Apolline, representing beauty and order, and the Dionysiac, a primal or ecstatic reaction to the sublime. He believed the combination of these states produced the highest forms of music and tragic drama, which not only reveal the truth about suffering in life, but also provide a consolation for it. Impassioned and exhilarating in its conviction, The Birth of Tragedy has become a key text in European culture.Translated by Shaun WhitesideEdited by Michael TannerCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Literary CriticismTopic: Philosophy & SpiritualityRelease Year: 1993 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
