Die Geburt der Tragödie: Versuch einer Selbstkritik by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
"Die Geburt der Tragödie: Versuch einer Selbstkritik" by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche is a philosophical work published in 1872. Nietzsche challenges the classical view of ancient Greeks as purely cheerful, revealing instead a tragic worldview. He introduces his theory of two opposing artistic forces embodied by the gods Apollo and Dionysus—the harmonious versus the ecstatic. Through analyzing Greek tragedy's birth and decline, the young philology professor presents bold cultural and aesthetic ideas that
distanced him from traditional scholarship and influenced twentieth-century thought. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
