Presenting some of Nietzsche's most significant thoughts on art and literature, this enthralling account traces the development of his thinking throughout his writings and explores issues, such as: * the idea that art has a unique capacity to reveal ultimate metaphysical truth inThe Birth of Tragedy * the dominance of the Apollonian principle inHuman, all too Human * the death of god and notion of a detranscendentalized world inThe Gay Science * the contradictions and complications that emerged in Nietzsche's later writings.
