Description

Unabridged version of Nietzsche's first draft (1871)


Friedrich Nietzsche opened the door to philosophy in the 20th century. He anticipated depth psychology, championed myth, attacked literalism in religion and the arts, placed humanity in an evolutionary perspective, and launched a critique of scientism that remains potent in the 21st century. In this, his first book, he developed all of those themes to a remarkable degree by uniting Apollo and Dionysus as the central symbol of human existence.
