Title: The Birth of Tragedy Author: Friedrich Nietzsche Narrator: John van Stan Format: mp3 Length: 7 hrs and 50 mins Release date: 03-26-22 Ratings: 4 out of 5 stars, 3 ratings Genres: Aesthetics Publisher's Summary: A compelling argument for the necessity for art in life, Nietzsche's first book is fuelled by his enthusiasms for Greek tragedy, for the philosophy of Schopenhauer and for the music of Wagner, to whom this work was dedicated. Nietzsche outlined a distinction between its two central forces: the Apolline, representing beauty and order, and the Dionysiac, a primal or ecstatic reaction to the sublime. He believed the combination of these states produced the highest forms of music and tragic drama, which not only reveal the truth about suffering in life, but also provide a consolation for it.
