Nietzsche, Tension, and the Tragic Disposition examines the role
that tension plays in Nietzsche s recovery, in his mature thought,
of the Greek tragic disposition. This is achieved by examining the
ontological structure to the tragic disposition presented in his
earliest work on the Greeks and then exploring its presence in
points of tension that emerge in the more mature concerns with
nobility. In pursuing this ontological foundation, the work builds
upon the centrality of a naturalist argument derived from the
influence of the pre-Platonic Greeks. It is the ontological aspect
of the tragic disposition, identified in Nietzsche s earliest
interpretations of Greek phusis and the inherent tensions of the
chthonic present in this hylemorphic foundation, that are examined
to demonstrate the importance of the notion of tension to Nietzsche
s recovery of a new nobility. By bringing to light the functional
importance of tension for the Greeks in the ontological, varying
points of tension can be identified that demonstrate a reemergence
at different aspects in Nietzsche's later work. Once these aspects
are elaborated, the evolving influence of tension is shown to play
a central role in the re-emergence of the noble that possesses the
tragic disposition. With solid argumentation linking Nietzsche with
pre=Platonic Greek tradition, Matthew Tones's book brings new
insight to studies of metaphysics, ontology, naturalism, and
German, continental, and Greek philosophies."
