Friedrich Nietzsche,Ira  Allen
Before the world knew of the thinker who â€œphilosophizes with a hammer,â€ there was a young, passionate thinker who was captivated by the two forces found within Greek art: Dionysus and Apollo. In this essay, which was the forerunner to his groundbreaking book ,The Birth of Tragedy, The Dionysian Vision of the World, provides an unparalleled look into the philosophical mind of one of Europeâ€™s greatest and provocative intellects at the beginning of his philosophical interrogation on the subject of art. â€œWhile dreaming is the game man plays with reality as an individual, the visual artist (in the larger sense) plays a game with dreaming.â€ This is the Dionysian vision of the world.
