Nietzsche: A Selected Annotated Bibliography The Birth of Tragedy“I found the turning point in the modern understanding of early Greek thought to be the publication just a hundred years ago of Nietzsche’s The Birth of Tragedy.” 25 Porter, James I. Nietzsche and the Philology of the Future. (Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2000). JFE 01-9290 With careful readings of Nietzsche’s early, mostly unpublished philological writings, Porter argues for the continuity between them and the Birth of Tragedy. (This is contrary to the views of many scholars who see the Birth of Tragedy as a decisive break in Nietzsche’s development.) Porter also argues that the problems that Nietzsche wrestled with in his later writings are to be found in these early writings. Silk, M.S. and J.P. Stern. Nietzsche on Tragedy.

(New York: Oxford University Press, 1988), 104-131. JFD 89-2052 Soll asserts that Schopenhauer’s influence on the Birth of Tragedy was considerable and that Nietzsche’s assessment that it was minimal should be rejected. The problem of the inevitably of suffering in life, central to the Birth of Tragedy, led Nietzsche to a Schoperhauerian pessimism in spite of his efforts to overcome it.
