{"product_id":"dionysia-metaphysica-james-chester-9781735016702","title":"Dionysia Metaphysica: A Reiteration of Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy","description":"The German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche entitled the first draft of \"The Birth of Tragedy\" (BT) as \"The Dionysian Vision of the World.\" Dionysia Metaphsyica presents a reiteration of BT as, indeed, a view of the world, specifically the inner world of man, which is a metaphysica. BT is not Nietzsche's scholarly view of ancient Greek culture during the time in history when the practice of tragedy arose as a new art form. But most books about BT have focused precisely on this scholarly view. Viewed instead as a metaphysica, and using a translation of Nietzsche's original writing word for word, this reiteration elucidates a theory of life within human being as art in the form of mythopoeia, or the creation of Self, founded on a process of growth arising out of an evolutionary interplay between the two realms of sensation and ideation. It also provides valuable insight into Nietzsche's invention of a new art form called dithyrambic drama as a vehicle with which to achieve a true representation of tragedy and therewith resurrect the practice of tragedy. As such, the reiteration also provides insight into how to read a dithyramb and how to practice dithyrambic drama for the purpose of undertaking the world's only dithyrambic tragedy, \"Thus Spoke Zarathustra,\" which Nietzsche wrote.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Chester\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1735016705\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781735016702\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e James Chester Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.24w x 0.94d","brand":"James Chester","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44069139710207,"sku":"9781735016702","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_821cfab7-7450-48b0-b7a8-672ade8c2ce6.jpg?v=1685423027","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dionysia-metaphysica-james-chester-9781735016702","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
