The Birth of Tragedy: (Translated by William A. Haussmann)

Mehr zum Buch

Friedrich Nietzsche's "The Birth of Tragedy" explores the interplay between reason and emotion through the lens of ancient Greek drama, highlighting the dichotomy of the Dionysian and Apollonian traditions. Celebrating the works of Aeschylus and Sophocles, Nietzsche presents a life-affirming philosophy amidst a seemingly tragic world. Initially met with criticism, he later acknowledged its youthful naiveté in a prefatory essay for the 1886 reissue. This edition features premium acid-free paper and follows William A. Haussmann's translation.
