Description

In this episode of *The Mad Genius Thesis Podcast*, we dive into **Friedrich Nietzsche’s *The Birth of Tragedy***, exploring how his vision of **Apollonian order and Dionysian chaos** shaped not only Greek tragedy but also German culture and modern thought. Drawing on multiple sources, we examine **Nietzsche’s influences, from Schopenhauer to Wagner**, his critique of modernity, and the book’s impact on **Freud, philosophy, and art theory**. How did Nietzsche’s early ideas evolve into his later philosophy? And what can his theory of tragedy tell us about **creativity, madness, and the human condition**? Join us as we unpack this **complex, provocative, and still-relevant work**.
