Title: Death of a Philologist
Review: Birth of Tragedy represents a crossroads for Nietzche, from the classical philologist to the philosopher. Pregnant with themes that will find expression in his later works, Nietzche makes clear his guiding purpose in this book as well, namely the overthrow of Platonism (no matter what Heidegger thinks). The analysis of the Apollolian and Dionesian that is the fulcrum of the analysis in The Birth of Tragedy is also a theme that will play out in Nietzche's more mature work.This book is a must for anyone interested in Nietzche's philosophy, as it provides a look into the genesis of his thought.
