Crossings : Nietzsche and the Space of Tragedy
Crossings Nietzsche and the Space of Tragedy Author:John Sallis Boldly contesting recent scholarship, Sallis argues that — The Birth of Tragedy is a rethinking of art at the — limit of metaphysics. His close reading focuses on the — complexity of the Apollinian/Dionysian dyad and on the — crossing of these basic art impulses in tragedy. — "Sallis effectively calls into question some commonly — accepted and ... more »simplistic ideas about Nietzsche's early
thinking and its debt to Schopenhauer, and proposes
alternatives that are worth considering."--Richard
