He saw in it the rise and climax of values so dear to him that their subsequent drop into catastrophe (in the person of Socrates - Plato) was clearly foreshadowed as though these were events taking place in the theater. And so in this work, unpublished in his own day but written at the same time that his The Birth of Tragedy had so outraged the German professorate as to imperil his own academic career, his most deeply felt task was one of education. He wanted to present the culture of the Greeks as a paradigm to his young German contemporaries who might thus be persuaded to work toward a state of culture of their own; a state where Nietzsche found sorely missing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "Philosophy in the Tragic Age of the Greeks," in keeping with his obsession with Pre-Socratic philosophers, Nietzsche examines the philosophical insights of the pre-Socratics in the context of the tragic sensibility of ancient Greek culture. He highlights the profound connection between the tragic view of life and the philosophical quest for understanding, arguing that the early Greek philosophers were deeply attuned to the complexities and contradictions of existence. Nietzsche reflects on the essential dispositions and metaphysical conjectures of figures such as Thales, Anaximander, and Heraclitus, noting how their ideas gestated within a culture that both nurtured and was nurtured by philosophical inquiry. Nietzsche's analysis emphasizes the intrinsic connection between the temperament of the individual philosopher and the broader cultural and existential inquiries of the age. The text highlights the tragic sensibility inherent in Greek culture and suggests that the interplay between this sensibility and philosophical thought reveals deeper truths about the human condition and the cosmos. Through a lens that combines historical insight with philosophical speculation, Nietzsche articulates a vision of philosophy not merely as an academic discipline, but as a profound dialogue with existence itself. This view that the philosophic is important to human life conflicts with his anti-metaphysical worldview, according to Heidegger. The work was first published posthumously in 1913 by C. G. Naumann as part of a collection edited by Nietzsche's sister, Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche, and his friend Peter Gast. This new 2024 translation from the original German, Latin and Greek manuscript contains a new Afterword by the translator, a timeline of Nietzsche's life and works, an index with descriptions of his core concepts and summaries of his complete body of works. This translation is designed to allow the armchair philosopher to engage deeply with Nietzsche's works without having to be a full-time Academic. The language is modern and clean, with simplified sentence structures and diction to make Nietzsche's complex language and arguments as accessible as possible. This Reader's Edition also contains extra material that amplifies the manuscript with autobiographical, historical and linguistic context. This provides the reader a holistic view of this very enigmatic philosopher as both an introduction and an exploration of Nietzsche's works; from his general understanding of his philosophic project to an exploration of the depths of his metaphysics and unique contributions. This edition contains: • An Afterword by the Translator on the history, impact and intellectual legacy of Nietzsche • Translation notes on the original German manuscript • An index of Philosophical concepts used by Nietzsche with a focus on Existentialism and Phenomenology • A complete chronological list of Nietzsche's entire body of works • A detailed timeline of Nietzsche's life journey
