Nietzsche's Affirmative Morality: A Revaluation Based in the Dionysian World-View (Monographien und Texte Zur Nietzsche-Forschung, Bd. Vol. 42)

Explores the development of an affirmative ethics or morality in Nietzsche's work, and attempts to demonstrate that this process is that of an increasingly complicated articulation of the encounter with otherness. Pays particular attention to the fundamental premise of Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy: that a Dionysian ground of pleasure underlies all meaning-creation. Analyzes how Nietzsche adapted the imagery of Greek Dionysianism to describe a contradictory world of joy and suffering in which joy is fundamental. This contradictory relationship is found to be present in Greek thinkers who propound the metaphysics of the Mysteries.Peter Durno Murray is the author of 'Nietzsche's Affirmative Morality: A Revaluation Based in the Dionysian World-View (Monographien und Texte Zur Nietzsche-Forschung, Bd.
