John Sallis

Opis

Boldly contesting recent scholarship, Sallis argues that
"The Birth of Tragedy" is a rethinking of art at the
limit of metaphysics. His close reading focuses on the
complexity of the Apollinian/Dionysian dyad and on the
crossing of these basic art impulses in tragedy.
"Sallis effectively calls into question some commonly
accepted and simplistic ideas about Nietzsche's early
thinking and its debt to Schopenhauer, and proposes
alternatives that are worth considering." Richard
Schacht, "Times Literary Supplement""
