The Birth of Tragedy What is it about, and what is the main idea of the book The Birth of Tragedy ?

You can never understand what is written in this kind of book abbreviation

This book contains Nietzsche's philosophy of looking at the world from an aesthetic point of view

It's written very unrestrainedly, and it's easy to not read.

One of the main themes of this book should be that we want to achieve eternal beauty in our lives through art, and I also want to change my life through art, thinking that art can save a person.

This book is a very philosophical book, and the central idea is that through literature can change lives, art can save lives and make their hearts less painful.

The main idea of this book is the exploration of some aesthetics, which sometimes may only be in a dream, and there is no way to achieve it.

It means that it expresses the author's thoughts on art and the pursuit of beauty, as well as the author's own love and liking for art.

I took advantage of the weekend to finish reading Nietzsche's "The Birth of Tragedy" and felt a little touched.

To use a flattering saying: Duan Sui accepted him as the most accomplished in the art world; He is the best artistically accomplished in philosophy.

I only watched it once. Actually, there's not much to say. I originally wanted to make a little comprehensible analysis of the content of the book, but when I saw that the discussions in the Douban book review were far deeper than mine, I didn't make an axe here.

Sometimes reading a book is a feeling of reading. I don't know much about it, but I always feel that postmodern art has a shadow of him. Although I don't know much about postmodern art myself.

I just looked up a lot about the connection between postmodern art and Nietzsche. But it's all some generalizations. There is no reference to it.

However, Zhihu has a story-like evaluation of the Dionysian spirit and the Sun God spirit in "The Birth of Tragedy". I think it's well written, and it feels like meeting a soulmate. Just quote it.

The following is quoted from the Zhihu user "I decided"-

Let me tell you a story.

A person has his own beliefs and accomplishes actions that carry out their meanings, and others praise him and encourage his actions. So he behaved more in line with the image that others praised, and even though he did, he still felt a little uncomfortable, like following an unreal back.

One day he began to doubt the meaning of faith, and the original selfishness of mortals made him angry and angry, what are people looking for? Without him, he himself could not come up with an answer, and in spite of the contradictions between morality and faith that people profess, he did so, feeling his own insignificance day by day, and being frustrated by his own pursuits day by day.

Maybe one day, in a certain position, suddenly something made him feel that no matter what he did, it was almost meaningless compared to this universe, what ethics, what morality, what beliefs, were all imperfect laws prescribed by these imperfect creatures that stopped evolving at a certain time, and they could not only be changed but even distorted beyond recognition, what should I believe? Don't you think that all this is meaningless, what you have done, what you have accomplished, what you have destroyed, will have any effect on the outcome of this universe that is too objective to be objective?

He began to abandon the conformist practices, to create the meaning he wanted, or his own morality, even if others could not understand it, even if he did nothing, and he had already thought about it anyway and did not blindly listen to what people often said about morality, and he was already very satisfied. Maybe things can only be perfect in your own heart.

This is also a philosophical and artistic interpretation, which is what I want to say, but it is far better than mine. If you are interested, you can take a look. You can understand how I feel.

That's all I have to say today.

A bit of a trick to finish the day change. Let's talk about it when I read "The Birth of Tragedy" again.
