Nicholas Martin

Opis

This is the first comparative study of Nietzsche's Birth of Tragedy and Schiller's Aesthetic Letters, two crucial texts in aesthetic and cultural theory. Martin's scrupulous examination and comparison reveals the common ground shared by the two writers, who are usually regarded as being poles apart. In addition, Martin shows how this common ground mutually illuminates both texts.

Recenzje

As the scholarly documentation is thorough ... the book has much to recommend it ... Martin has done his research on the tradition of German classical learning, and is able to put Nietzsche's rebellion from it into a proper context.
