In the Birth of Tragedy, Nietzsche portrays art as a response to the horrors of existence. In this episode, we discuss his place in German 18th and 19th century philosophy, the distinctions he draws between the Apollonian and the Dionysiac drives, the wisdom of Silenus, and Nietzsche’s claim that Socrates and Euripides destroyed tragedy.
