Product Description
Product Description
The Birth of Tragedy is one of the seminal philosophical works of the modern period. Nietzsche’s discussion of the nature of culture, of the conditions under which it can flourish and of those under which it will decline, his analysis of the sources of discontent with the modern world, his criticism of rationalism and of traditional morality, his aesthetic theories and his conception of the ‘Dionysiac’ have had a profound influence on the philosophy, literature, music, and politics of the twentieth century. This edition presents a new translation by Ronald Speirs and an introduction by Raymond Geuss that sets the work in its historical and philosophical context. The volume also includes two essays on related topics that Nietzsche wrote during the same period, and that throw further light on the themes treated in the main text.

First Sentence
Whatever underlies this questionable book, it must be a most stimulating and supremely important question and, furthermore, a profoundly personal one - as is attested by the times in which it was written, and in spite of which it was written, the turbulent period of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1.
