About this audiobook
"The Birth of Tragedy" by Friedrich Nietzsche is a philosophical work that explores the origins and nature of Greek tragedy. Nietzsche argues that Greek tragedy emerged from the tension between two competing artistic impulses: the Apollonian, which is characterized by rationality, order, and form; and the Dionysian, which is characterized by emotion, chaos, and irrationality. "The Birth of Tragedy" is a provocative and influential work of philosophy that challenges traditional views on the nature of art, culture, and human existence. Read in English, unabridged.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher and author. Born into a line of Protestant churchman, Nietzsche studied Classical literature and language before becoming a professor at the University of Basel in Switzerland. He became a philosopher after reading Schopenhauer, who suggested that God does not exist, and that life is filled with pain and suffering. Nietzsche’s first work of prominence was The Birth of Tragedy in 1872, which contained new theories regarding the origins of classical Greek culture. From 1883 to 1885 Nietzsche composed his most famous work, Thus Spake Zarathustra, in which he famously proclaimed that “God is dead.” He went on to release several more notable works including Beyond Good and Evil and The Genealogy of Morals, both of which dealt with the origins of moral values. Nietzsche suffered a nervous breakdown in 1889 and passed away in 1900, but not before giving us his most famous quote, “From life's school of war: what does not kill me makes me stronger.”
