Dionysian Religion and Socratic Philosophy in Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy
Original language description
In The Birth of Tragedy, Nietzsche contrasts the rationalism and optimism of Socrates with the tragic outlook of the "Dionysian Greeks." Most scholars read him as taking the side of the Dionysian Greeks against Socrates. I argue that Nietzsche presents the Dionysian as an essentially religious perspective, characterized by a proto-Christian need for redemption or "metaphysical solace" he implicitly disavows. Nietzsche himself occupies a perspective which incorporates elements of the Dionysian and the Socratic and gestures towards a higher synthesis, which like Socratic philosophy is reflective and contemplative, delighting in the pursuit and enjoyment of knowledge, but like Dionysian wisdom acknowledges the limits of rationalism. This new philosophy is neither tragic nor optimistic but playful and comic or, perhaps, tragicomic.
