The Greek Music Drama marks an intriguing moment in the development
of Nietzsche's thought. Delivered in 1870 at the Basel Museum, it
was the first public enunciation of the great themes that would
echo throughout Nietzsche s philosophy: the importance of aesthetic
experience for culture, the primacy of the body and physiological
drives, and the centrality of music to Greek tragedy. Here we see
Nietzsche s genealogical methodology in embryonic form alongside
the anti-humanist aesthetics that will bloom in his later work.
Addressing the material conditions of Greek theater in detail,
Nietzsche repudiates the abstract scholarly approach to the art of
classical antiquity, proposing that in its stead we cultivate
different emotional and intellectual powers in order to gain
greater insight into that art. This seminal lecture offers an
account of tragic experience from the sole perspective of the
Dionysian, presenting a reading of nature of startling and
far-reaching implications. While The Greek Music Drama is a text
written on the brink of the insights that inform The Birth of
Tragedy, it stands on its own right as a singular text. This work
is of considerable importance and is now made available in English
for the very first time, with the translation set parallel to the
original German in this elegant bilingual edition. Paul Bishop s
preface and informative critical notes and Jill Marsden s
illuminating introduction not only serve to make good the
comparative neglect this seminal text has suffered in Nietzsche
studies, they also lend the unique expertise of two Nietzsche
scholars to the early thought of a philosopher who is crucial not
just to philosophy scholars and aficionados, but to anyone
interested in theater, performance, and the art of tragedy.
