О овој е-књизи

"Dionysus Dithyrambs" is a collection of poems that celebrate the Dionysian aspect of life. The Dithyramb is an ancient Greek choral hymn dedicated to the god Dionysus, and Nietzsche uses this form to express his philosophical ideas in a lyrical manner. This Dionysian-Apollonian dichotomy is central to his theories on Aesthetics. This collection of poems is philosophy cloaked in the mantle of poetic expression, often intertwining his thoughts with the mythic persona of Zarathustra- a figure he pours all of his concepts of the ideal man into.. The dithyrambs are characterized by their rhythmic intensity and vibrancy, reflecting the chaotic nature of raw Dionysian art. Nietzsche uses poetic language to dissect themes of truth, wisdom, and existence as he navigates the stormy seas of philosophical thought. Nietzsche emphasizes the role of all forms of art- Music, theater and poetry, as critical to dulling the pain of material existence. These poems are deeply influenced by the figure of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, ecstasy, and creative chaos, embodying Nietzsche's ideals of life affirmation, artistic creativity, and the transcendence of conventional morality. The dithyrambs, traditionally a form of ancient Greek hymn sung in honor of Dionysus, are reimagined by Nietzsche to express his vision of a liberated, Dionysian spirit that revels in the dynamic and often tumultuous nature of existence. Dionysus Dithyrambs was published posthumously by his estate in 1891. The text was first published in 1891 as part of "Nietzsche's Works, Volume I" by C.G. Naumann in Leipzig, Germany. The collection was edited by Nietzsche's sister, Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche, who was instrumental in curating and publishing his remaining manuscripts and notes after his death in 1900. This new 2024 translation from the original German, Latin and Greek manuscript contains a new Afterword by the translator, a timeline of Nietzsche's life and works, an index with descriptions of his core concepts and summaries of his complete body of works. This translation is designed to allow the armchair philosopher to engage deeply with Nietzsche's works without having to be a full-time Academic. The language is modern and clean, with simplified sentence structures and diction to make Nietzsche's complex language and arguments as accessible as possible. This modern critical reader's edition offers a clear and accessible translation of Nietzsche’s original manuscript, using contemporary language and streamlined sentence structures to make his complex ideas easier to engage with. Designed for both general readers and students of philosophy, the edition includes a range of supporting materials to provide context and deepen understanding. These include an afterword by the translator discussing the historical reception and intellectual legacy of the work, an index of key philosophical concepts with emphasis on Existentialism and Phenomenology, a chronological list of Nietzsche’s published works, and a detailed timeline of his life, highlighting the personal relationships that influenced his thinking.

О аутору

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) was a watershed German philosopher, cultural critic, poet, musician (briefly) and philologist (the study of ancient manuscripts) whose work has had a profound impact on modern intellectual history.
