This duality of man, animal and human aspect such as compassion and thought. can be further extended to Nietzsche idea of the Apollonian and Dionysian sides of man and the influence this idea had on the development of modern philosophy pertaining to existentialism. This dichotomy of the multiple sides of man would appear in the philosophical movement of Edo Neo-Confucianism, one of the main philosophy

name itself already signifies a kind of perplexing fluidity. Her true nature can never be clearly captured by the knight, akin to how one can never grasp flowing water within the palm. Right from the start, she is already portrayed as an elusive Dionysian entity which cannot be readily subsumed within the Establishment’s fixed Apollonian codes of understanding. The knight regards her brows as washed out with “feverish dew" (10). Dew holds a refreshing quality and symbolically represents the vitality

This is particularly evident in the Ecce Homo’s passages devoted to the duality of Apollo and Dionysus. Here Nietzsche openly attacks this concept as a crypto-Hegelian idea ruling over the course of history. Moreover, he brands the same with the here clearly negative label of metaphysicslii. Thus, as of 1888 and just before his eventual psychological collapse, we can see how Nietzsche chastised some of his own early positions in the same way he did with ‘Socratism’. These too are now nothing but

influence was seen as the art of things of form and structure, the molding or creation of something tangible.  The Dionysian, on the other hand, was seen as the more plastic arts, music in particular, where the art lies as much in the performance as the conception.  The Apollonian was seen as a creation brought on by a dream-like state, perhaps induced by a god or sleep, while the Dionysian is usually attributed to high spirits, such as drunkenness (Nietzsche 1).  As stated before, Tragedy was the unique

singer. Her rebellion temper and colorful style is capturing along with her outstanding voice. Stefani was born (1969) in Fullerton, California and begun her musical carrier at age 17 (Billboard,.2017). I would consider Stefani a performer with Dionysian influence. Her music has always been passionate and reflecting her life experiences and views on current issues. Stefani’s life could be described as a rollocoster, ups and downs that provide plenty of inspiration for her music. The song “Rich

thrive off creativity and disorder. So I ask, how do we make sense of such an unreasonable painting? The answer can be found within the philosophical ideas of Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsche introduces to readers both the Apollonian force and the Dionysian force is his book The Birth of Tragedy. To be specific,

individual’s inner Dionysian desire for indulgence, impulsiveness, freedom. In Kate Chopin’s novella The Awakening, Chopin depicts Apollonian and Dionysian values through the description of certain settings and characters, while also depicting the dramatic inner battle that the protagonist, Edna Pontellier, experiences between these two influences. By showing the pull that Edna feels between the societal Apollonian lifestyle of structure and confinement versus the individual-based Dionysian lifestyle of

In the book, The Birth of Tragedy, by Nietzsche, the late 19th century philosopher uses the terms Dionysian and Apollinian to use them as the two central principles in Greek culture. Apollinian was a term derived from the God Apollo, which related to the sun, light, and clarity, whereas Dionysian derived from the God Dionysius, which would often be thought of as the wine-God that represented drunkenness and ecstasy. Nietzsche uses Apollinian as the basis of all analytical distinctions. For this aspect

Rational or Irrational? (A discussion on culture and its Apollonian and Dionysian aspects) Is there ever a reason behind why we do what we do, or do we act purely out of impulse? Some people are very meticulous when it comes to planning things out while others go with the flow and don't worry about what will happen. Is this something that is programmed inside of us, or are we influenced by the culture in which we live? I believe that the culture we live in today has a huge influence on the people

Tragedy, Neitchez identifies two ways of thinking that present themselves in art. The first is Dionysian which is intoxication, instinctual, intuitive, pertaining to the sensation of pleasure or pain, ending of all boundaries, excess, and second Apollonian, which is the dream state, exhaustion of possibilities, creation, separation from the chaos of life. The one element of Hip Hop with both Dionysian and Apollonian influences is Emcee which is the conveyer of the message, the artist. The Apollonian
