About this book

In his brilliant, controversial first book, the young Nietzsche argues that Greek tragedy arose from the tension between two forces: the ordered, rational 'Apollonian' and the ecstatic, chaotic 'Dionysian.' He mounts a passionate defense of art, myth, and music as answers to the terror and absurdity of existence, and champions Wagner as the reviver of the tragic spirit. Bold, poetic, and unlike conventional scholarship, the book announced a radically original thinker and introduced ideas that would echo through modern philosophy, art, and psychology. Provocative and exhilarating, The Birth of Tragedy is a foundational text on the meaning of art and the deep roots of human creativity.
