Download or read book Dithyrambs of Dionysus written by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche and published by Learning Links. This book was released on 1984 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in 1844, Friedrich Nietzsche died in Weimar on 25 August 1900. Arguably the most important philosopher of the 19th century, his earliest reputation was as much for his poetry as for his philosophical writings. He began writing poetry as a boy and continued, in a wide range of styles, throughout his life. In its completed form, Dithyrambs of Dionysus' was his last book. The nine poems of this cycle were composed during 1883-8 and assembled for publication shortly before his breakdown in 1889. They represent the ultimate visionary poetic style which he developed in the years after Thus Spake Zarathustra' and form a coda to his life's work. RJ Hollingdale has translated eleven of Nietzsche's books and works by, among others, Schopenhauer, Goethe, ETA Hoffman and Theodor Fontane. Among his recent publications are a revised version of Nietzsche: The Man and His Philosophy' and a new edition of Lichtenberg's Waste-Books'.

Book excerpt: "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 Reader's Edition also contains extra material that amplifies the manuscript with autobiographical, historical and linguistic context. This provides the reader a holistic view of this very enigmatic philosopher as both an introduction and an exploration of Nietzsche's works; from his general understanding of his philosophic project to an exploration of the depths of his metaphysics and unique contributions. This edition contains: • An Afterword by the Translator on the history, impact and intellectual legacy of Nietzsche • Translation notes on the original German, Latin and Greek manuscript • An index of Philosophical concepts used by Nietzsche with a focus on Existentialism and Phenomenology • A chronological list of Nietzsche's entire body of works • A detailed timeline of Nietzsche's life and works

Book Synopsis To Nietzsche: Dionysus, I Love You! Ariadne by : Claudia Crawford
Download or read book To Nietzsche: Dionysus, I Love You! Ariadne written by Claudia Crawford and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the possibility that Friedrich Nietzsche simulated his madness as a form of "voluntary death," and thus that his madness functioned as the symbolic culmination of his philosophy. The book weaves together scholarly, mytho-poetic, literary critical, biographical, and dramatic genres not only to explore specifics of Nietzsche's "madness," but to question the "reason/madness" opposition in nineteenth and twentieth century thinking. A rational and scholarly study of this period of Nietzsche's "breakdown"--presented through his writings, letters, and poetry in combination with relevant historical documents and other critics' writings--is simultaneously disrupted and questioned by several non-traditional discourses or voices that break in on it. Thus, Ariadne's voice frames and unframes the research context and plays alongside it. Ariadne's voice is poetic, revelatory, rhapsodic, and prophetic, sounding much like Nietzsche's own voice during his "breakdown." Ariadne's discourse attempts to seduce through a non-rational, mytho-poetic love story which culminates in the wedding of Dionysus and Ariadne. Other non-rational discourses, critically developed and based upon the work of Nietzsche, Jean Baudrillard, and Gilles Deleuze, are given voice and work together with Ariadne to counter the usual interpretations of Nietzsche's "madness" and of what "mad" discourse is. These discourses are given the names "catastrophe," "phantasm," and "seduction." The experiment of the book is not only to offer an entirely different perspective on Nietzche's "madness" but to offer and perform new and challenging forms of affirmative discourse.
Book Synopsis The Dionysian Worldview by : Friedrich Nietzsche
Download or read book The Dionysian Worldview written by Friedrich Nietzsche and published by Livraria Press. This book was released on with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lecture is Nietzsche's initial formulation of the Dionysian concept, which later becomes central to his philosophical work, especially present in "The Birth of Tragedy." The original German title is "Die dionysische Weltanschauung", usually translated as "The Dionysian World-view". Here Nietzsche contrasts two meta-psychological Archetypical artistic forces: the Dionysian and the Apollonian, drawing heavily on Greek mythology. The Dionysian aspect represents chaos, emotion, irrationality, and the uncontrollable aspects of human nature, similar to the characteristics of the Greek god Dionysus, associated with wine, fertility, ritual madness, and religious ecstasy. Conversely, the Apollonian represents order, reason, and the aesthetic qualities of structure and form, associated with the god Apollo, the god of art, light, and reason. This is where Carl Jung gets his Anima/ Animus dichotomy. The Dionysian Worldview was given by the newly minted Professor Nietzsche at the Basel Museum held on February 1, 1870, and subsequently published but the foundation managed by his sister. This lecture was first published in the volume "Gesammelte Werke" edited by Peter Gast (a pseudonym for Heinrich Köselitz, a close associate of Nietzsche) and Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche (Nietzsche's sister). They were included in the second series of these collected works under the title "Philologica," which was published in 1897. This was part of the effort to compile and publish Nietzsche's unpublished manuscripts and lecture notes after his death. This is one of three major Basel lectures he gave immediately after he accepted a position at the University of Basel. At the young age of 24, Nietzsche accepted a philology professorship in 1869, which facilitated his acquaintance with the composer residing in Tribschen. During this period, Nietzsche delivered three lectures that prefigured his future focus: 'The Greek Musical Drama' on January 18, 'Socrates and Tragedy' on February 1, and the 'The Dionysian Worldview' in July/August 1870. Feeling constrained by philological topics, Nietzsche sought a professorship in philosophy. His writing primarily reflects influences from two significant sources: the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer and the musical and theoretical works of Richard Wagner. 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.

Download or read book Genre in Archaic and Classical Greek Poetry: Theories and Models written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-10-14 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genre in Archaic and Classical Greek Poetry foregrounds innovative approaches to the question of genre, what it means, and how to think about it for ancient Greek poetry and performance. Embracing multiple definitions of genre and lyric, the volume pushes beyond current dominant trends within the field of Classics to engage with a variety of other disciplines, theories, and models. Eleven papers by leading scholars of ancient Greek culture cover a wide range of media, from Sappho’s songs to elegiac inscriptions to classical tragedy. Collectively, they develop a more holistic understanding of the concept of lyric genre, its relevance to the study of ancient texts, and its relation to subsequent ideas about lyric.
Book Synopsis Apollo's Lyre by : Thomas J. Mathiesen
Download or read book Apollo's Lyre written by Thomas J. Mathiesen and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 832 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient Greek music and music theory has fascinated scholars for centuries not only because of its intrinsic interest as a part of ancient Greek culture but also because the Greeks? grand concept of music has continued to stimulate musical imaginations to the present day. Unlike earlier treatments of the subject, Apollo?s Lyre is aimedøprincipally at the reader interested in the musical typologies, the musical instruments, and especially the historical development of music theory and its transmission through the Middle Ages. The basic method and scope of the study are set out in a preliminary chapter, followed by two chapters concentrating on the role of music in Greek society, musical typology, organology, and performance practice. The next chapters are devoted to the music theory itself, as it developed in three stages: in the treatises of Aristoxenus and the Sectio canonis; during the period of revival in the second century C.E.; and in late antiquity. Each theorist and treatise is considered separately but always within the context of the emerging traditions. The theory provides a remarkably complete and coherent system for explaining and analyzing musical phenomena, and a great deal of its conceptual framework, as well as much of its terminology, was borrowed and adapted by medieval Latin, Byzantine, and Arabic music theorists, a legacy reviewed in the final chapter. Transcriptions and analyses of some of the more complete pieces of Greek music preserved on papyrus or stone, or in manuscript, are integrated with a consideration of the musicopoetic types themselves. The book concludes with a comprehensive bibliography for the field, updating and expanding the author?s earlier Bibliography of Sources for the Study of Ancient Greek Music.

Book Synopsis The Pregnant Male as Myth and Metaphor in Classical Greek Literature by : David D. Leitao
Download or read book The Pregnant Male as Myth and Metaphor in Classical Greek Literature written by David D. Leitao and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-04-30 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the image of the pregnant male in Greek literature as it evolved over the course of the classical period. The image - as deployed in myth and in metaphor - originated as a representation of paternity and, by extension, 'authorship' of ideas, works of art, legislation, and the like. Only later, with its reception in philosophy in the early fourth century, did it also become a way to figure and negotiate the boundary between the sexes. The book considers a number of important moments in the evolution of the image: the masculinist embryological theory of Anaxagoras of Clazomenae and other fifth century pre-Socratics; literary representations of the birth of Dionysus; the origin and functions of pregnancy as a metaphor in tragedy, comedy and works of some Sophists; and finally the redeployment of some of these myths and metaphors in Aristophanes' Assemblywomen and in Plato's Symposium and Theaetetus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that The Birth of Tragedy, Nietzsche's first book, does not mark a rupture with his prior philosophical undertakings but is, in fact, continuous with them and with his later writings as well. It shows that many of the book's elements are reminiscent of Nietzsche's earlier revisions of philology and anticipate the later writings.
