Abstract

This artic explores Nietzsche's concepts regarding the formation of art, as presented in "The Birth of Tragedy," investigating the duality between the Apollonian and Dionysian artistic impulses. The central focus lies in the aesthetic justification of existence through art, whether through the form provided by the Apollonian or through the duality between the Apollonian and Dionysian in tragic art, as a fundamental interplay of human experience. We will argue about the tension between universal unity and individuality, which the philosopher presents as the core of the aesthetic effect of tragedy, contributing to the affirmation of life and the attainment of freedom.
