Nietzsche's philosophy - at once revolutionary, erudite and deep -
reaches into all spheres of the arts. Well into a second century of
influence, the profundity of his ideas and the complexity of his
writings still determine Nietzsche's power to engage his readers.
His first book, "The Birth of Tragedy", presents us with a lively
inquiry into the existential meaning of Greek tragedy. We are
confronted with the idea that the awful truth of our existence can
be revealed through tragic art, whereby our relationship to the
world transfigures from pessimistic despair into sublime elation
and affirmation. It is a landmark text in his oeuvre and remains an
important book both for newcomers to Nietzsche and those wishing to
enrich their appreciation of his mature writings. "Nietzsche and
The Birth of Tragedy" provides a clear account of the text and
explores the philosophical, literary and historical influences
bearing upon it. 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 "The Birth of
Tragedy" for the first time.
