The acuity of his ideas and the complexity of his writings ensure Nietzsche\u0026amp;#39;s enduring power to engage his readers. Nietzsche\u0026amp;#39;s first book, \u0026amp;#39;The Birth of Tragedy\u0026amp;#39;, is an astonishing analysis of the meaning of Greek tragedy. He confronts us with the idea that the grave truth to our existence can be revealed through tragic art, and that our relationship to the world can be transfigured from pessimistic despair into sublime elation and affirmation. \u0026amp;#39;Nietzsche and The Birth of Tragedy\u0026amp;#39; provides a clear account of the text and its philosophical, literary and historical influences. Each chapter examines part of the text, explaining the ideas presented and assessing relevant scholarly points of interpretation. The book will be an invaluable guide to readers in philosophy, literary studies and classics coming to \u0026amp;#39;The Birth of Tragedy\u0026amp;#39; for the first time.","author":[{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Person","name":"Paul

TWENTIETH-CENTURY LITERARY CRITICISM assembles critical responses to the works of 20th-century authors of all sorts-novelists, poets, playwrights, journalists, philosophers, political leaders, scientists, mathematicians and writers from other genres-from every region of the world. Each of the more than 350 volumes in this long-standing series profiles approximately 3-6 novelists, poets, playwrights, journalists, philosophers or other creative and nonfiction writers by providing full-text or excerpted criticism reproduced from books, magazines, literary reviews, newspapers and scholarly journals. Clear, accessible introductory essays followed by carefully selected critical responses allow end-users to engage with a variety of scholarly views and conversations about authors, works and literary topics. Introductory essays are written and entries compiled by professional literature researchers and other subject matter experts; many include an author portrait. A full citation and annotation precede each of the approximately 50 essays per volume. The series currently covers more than 1,000 authors and also includes numerous entries focusing on literary topics and individual works. Students writing papers or class presentations, instructors preparing their syllabi, or anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the 20th century will find this a highly useful resource.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"The Birth of Tragedy: Friedrich Nietzsche","attachmentId":85871417,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/79004221/The_Birth_of_Tragedy_Friedrich_Nietzsche","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/79004221/The_Birth_of_Tragedy_Friedrich_Nietzsche"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="1" data-entity-id="6223858" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/6223858/Bridging_the_Abyss_and_Becoming_the_Work_of_Art_Life_Death_and_Socrates_in_Friedrich_Nietzsches_The_Birth_of_Tragedy">Bridging the Abyss and Becoming the Work of Art: Life, Death and Socrates in Friedrich Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="9549305" href="https://westernu.academia.edu/TristanGLWicksKE">Tristan GL Wicks KE</a></div><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Bridging the Abyss and Becoming the Work of Art: Life, Death and Socrates in Friedrich Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy","attachmentId":33091488,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/6223858/Bridging_the_Abyss_and_Becoming_the_Work_of_Art_Life_Death_and_Socrates_in_Friedrich_Nietzsches_The_Birth_of_Tragedy","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/6223858/Bridging_the_Abyss_and_Becoming_the_Work_of_Art_Life_Death_and_Socrates_in_Friedrich_Nietzsches_The_Birth_of_Tragedy"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="2" data-entity-id="16049038" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/16049038/A_Reading_of_Friedrich_Nietzsches_The_Birth_of_Tragedy">A Reading of Friedrich Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="35183061" href="https://csm-arts.academia.edu/GladioloNicola">Gladiolo Nicola</a></div><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"A Reading of Friedrich Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy","attachmentId":38857893,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/16049038/A_Reading_of_Friedrich_Nietzsches_The_Birth_of_Tragedy","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/16049038/A_Reading_of_Friedrich_Nietzsches_The_Birth_of_Tragedy"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="3" data-entity-id="10228273" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/10228273/Paul_Raimond_Daniels_Nietzsche_and_The_Birth_of_Tragedy_Pp_xvi_240_fig_Durham_Acumen_Publishing_2013_Paper_16_99_Cased_50_ISBN_978_1_84465_243_3_978_1_84465_242_6_hbk_">Paul Raimond Daniels, Nietzsche and The Birth of Tragedy.

I follow this insight that Nietzsche is engaging in mythmaking in BT, but I argue that proponents of this view have missed an important dimension of that mythmaking: that Nietzsche presents multiple narratives of Apollo and Dionysus from different perspectives, each of which offers different senses of tragic affirmation. This perspectival feature of BT sheds light on the more formal ‘perspectivism’ articulated in the Third Essay of On the Genealogy of Morals, as Nietzsche uses perspective in both cases to generate an epistemic alternative to the life-denying features of modern science. Thus, the metaphysical discussions of the early Nietzsche are inseparable from the development of a stylistic practice that constitutes a radical rejection of metaphysics for the later Nietzsche, and this style is part of a project of generating a more life-affirming approach to knowledge.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Myth, Perspective, and Affirmation in Nietzsche's Birth of Tragedy","attachmentId":60872017,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/36111174/Myth_Perspective_and_Affirmation_in_Nietzsches_Birth_of_Tragedy","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/36111174/Myth_Perspective_and_Affirmation_in_Nietzsches_Birth_of_Tragedy"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="9" data-entity-id="30445264" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/30445264/Art_Pessimism_and_Myth_Nietzsche_s_Metaphysics_in_the_Birth_of_Tragedy">Art, Pessimism and Myth: Nietzsche’s Metaphysics in the 'Birth of Tragedy'</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="24395431" href="https://warwick.academia.edu/JoshuaSharman">Joshua Sharman</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">The paper will aim to show that the early Nietzsche, at the time of writing the 'Birth of tragedy', can be shown to subscribe to three broad evaluative positions; those of: metaphysical scepticism and metaphyiscal pessimism, alongside what can be termed his "poietic epistemology".
