Description
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS Nietzsche On Tragedy by M. S. Silk , J. P. Stern
The first comprehensive study of Nietzsches earliest book, The Birth of Tragedy 1872, this important volume by M. S. Silk and J. P. Stern examines the work in detail: its place in Nietzsches philosophical career; its value as an account of ancient Greek culture; its place in the history of German ideas, and its value as a theory of tragedy and music. Presented in a fresh twenty-first-century series livery, and including a specially commissioned preface written by Lesley Chamberlain, illuminating its enduring importance and relevance to philosophical enquiry, this accessible study has been revived for a new generation of readers.show more
