Nietzsche and The Birth of Tragedy - Paul Raimond Daniels
______________________________
"This is a thoughtful and instructive work, and a fine contribution to the literature. Daniels casts considerable light on what is perhaps Nietzsche's most difficult work."
- Daniel Came, University of Oxford

Nietzsche's philosophy is both revolutionary and profound, reaching into all spheres of the arts. The acuity of his ideas and the complexity of his writings ensure Nietzsche's enduring power to engage his readers.
Nietzsche's first book, The Birth of Tragedy, is an astonishing analysis of the meaning of Greek tragedy. He confronts us with the idea that the grave truth to our existence can be revealed through tragic art, and that our relationship to the world can be transfigured from pessimistic despair into sublime elation and affirmation.
Nietzsche and The Birth of Tragedy provides a clear account of the text and its philosophical, literary and historical influences. Each chapter examines a 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.
