Description
Friedrich Nietzsche The Birth of Tragedy (Paperback). This landmark work of criticism is fuelled by Nietzsche's enthusiasms for Greek tragedy, the philosophy of Schopenhauer and the music of Wagner, to whom the book was dedicated. 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. Further DetailsTitle: The Birth of Tragedy Condition: New Description: Nietzsche's first published book, The Birth of Tragedy is a compelling argument for the necessity of art in lifeThis landmark work of criticism is fuelled by Nietzsche's enthusiasms for Greek tragedy, the philosophy of Schopenhauer and the music of Wagner, to whom the book was dedicated. 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 Tanner Author: Friedrich Nietzsche EAN: 9780140433395 Contributor: Michael Tanner (Edited by), Shaun Whiteside (Translated by) ISBN: 9780140433395 Format: Paperback Item Height: 198mm Item Length: 129mm Item Width: 8mm ISBN-10: 0140433392 Genre: Philosophy & Spirituality Country/Region of Manufacture: GB Publisher: Penguin Classics Release Date: 05/27/1993 Item Weight: 123g Subtitle: Out of the Spirit of Music Language: English, German Translator: Shaun Whiteside Topic: Literary Criticism Release Year: 1993 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
