Synopsis

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 simplistic ideas about Nietzsche's early
thinking and its debt to Schopenhauer, and proposes
alternatives that are worth considering."—Richard
Schacht, Times Literary Supplement

From the Back Cover

Nietzche's The Birth of Tragedy is known as the work by which a new vision of the Greeks was announced and the fateful career of a great thinker was launched. This is the first sustained philosophical reading of Nietzsche treatise to follow in the wake of the new openings made by Heidegger and Derrida for the articulation of the texts of philosophy.
