3、ant introduction to literature, particularly that of the ancient Greeks and Romans. 1864 Commenced studies in theology and classical philology at the University of Bonn. After one semester (and to the anger of his mother) he stopped his theological studies and lost his faith. Nietzsche then concentr

He owed the awakening of his philosophical interest to reading his Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung (The Worl

Langes descriptions of Kants anti-materialistic philosophy, the rise of European Materialism, Europes increased concern with science, Darwins theory, and the general rebellion against tradition and authority grea

6、tly intrigued Nietzsche. The cultural environment encouraged him to expand his horizons beyond philology and to continue his study of philosophy. 1867 Signed up for one year of voluntary service with the Prussian artillery division in Naumburg. However, a riding accident in March 1868 left him unfit

7、 for service. Consequently Nietzsche turned his attention to his studies again, completing them and first meeting with Richard Wagner later that year.,Professor at Basel (18691879) In part because of Ritschls support, Nietzsche received a remarkable offer to become professor of classical philology a

8、t the University of Basel. Before moving to Basel, Nietzsche renounced his Prussian citizenship: for the rest of his life he remained officially stateless. 1872 Published his first book, The Birth of Tragedy. 1879 After a significant decline in health, resigned his position at Basel.,Independent phi

That year he also met Lou Andreas Salom,through Malwi

10、da von Meysenbug and Paul Re. Salom reports that he asked her to marry him and that she refused, though the reliability of her reports of events has come into question. Nietzsches relationship with Re and Salom broke up in the winter of 1882/1883, partially because of intrigues conducted by Nietzsch

11、es sister Elisabeth. Amidst renewed bouts of illness, living in near isolation after a falling-out with his mother and sister regarding Salom, Nietzsche fled to Rapallo. Here he wrote the first part of Thus Spoke Zarathustra in only ten days.,Mental breakdown and death (18891900) 1889.1.3 Nietzsche

12、suffered a mental collapse. Overbeck traveled to Turin and brought Nietzsche to a psychiatric clinic in Basel. By that time Nietzsche appeared fully in the grip of a serious mental illness, and his mother Franziska decided to transfer him to a clinic in Jena under the direction of Otto Binswanger. 1

13、890.3 Franziska removed Nietzsche from the clinic, and in May 1890 brought him to her home in Naumburg. After the death of Franziska in 1897, Nietzsche lived in Weimar, where Elisabeth cared for him and allowed people to visit her uncommunicative brother. 1898 and 1899 Nietzsche suffered at least tw

15、头秘传，缺乏文字资料，一向为正宗的古典学术所不屑。尼采却立足于这种不登大雅之堂的现象，把它当作理解高雅的希腊悲剧、希腊艺术、希腊精神的钥匙。甚至从中提升出了一种哲学。 仅仅把这本书看成一部美学著作肯定是不够的。书中显然存在两个层次，后者是前者的动机和谜底： 1.表层：对希腊艺术的美学讨论 2.深层：关于生命意义的形而上学的思考 书的主题： 1生命意义的解释 2现代文化的批判来。,与其后期思想联系： 1.从热情肯定生命意志的酒神哲学中发展出了权力意志理论和超人学说 2.对苏格拉底主义的批判扩展和深化成了两千年以来对柏拉图的世界二分模式为范型的欧洲整个传统形而上学的批判，对基督教道德的批判，以及对

16、一切价值的重估。 “悲剧的诞生是我的第一个一切价值的重估：我借此又回到了我的愿望和我的能力由之生长的土地上。” 尼采我感谢古人什么 这部著作应该被看成是他一生主要哲学思想的诞生地，从中能发现帮助我们正确解读他后期哲学的密码。,二元艺术冲动 13 duality of the Apollonian and Dionysian 斗争 和解 4 strife reconciliation 悲剧的本质与诞生 58,C,Duality of the Apollonian and the Dionysian,C,Duality of the Apollonian and the Dionysian,Con
