Publisher Description
The Birth of Tragedy stands alongside Aristotle’s Poetics as essential works for all who seek to understand poetry and its relationship to human life. In this, his first book, Nietzsche developed a way of thinking about the arts that unites the Greek gods Apollo and Dionysus as the central symbol of human existence. Although tragedy serves as the focus of this work, music, visual art, dance, and the other arts can also be viewed using Nietzsche’s analysis and integration of the Apollonian and the Dionysian.

Poorly edited
Narrator is fine but there are many segments repeated throughout this three track recording. I now do not know if I actually read Birth of Tragedy or just parts of it several times. Nietzsche requires multiple readings but I like to make that call on my own!
