Abstract
The Optics of Science, Art and Life
In the 1886 preface to the reissuing of The Birth of Tragedy, Nietzsche makes a claim that he
looks at science from the optic of art and art from that of life. What does he mean by this? Does The Birth of Tragedy actually do that? Where, when and how? A subtext to my argument is that BT sets a problem to Nietzsche that occupies him for the rest of his career.
Las ópticas de la ciencia, del arte y de la vida
En el prefacio de 1886 a la reedición de El nacimiento de la tragedia, Nietzsche afirma que mira a la ciencia desde la óptica del arte y al arte desde la óptica de la vida. ¿Qué quiere decir? ¿Realmente hace eso en El nacimiento de la tragedia? ¿Dónde, cuándo y cómo? Un subtexto de mi argumento es que El nacimiento de la tragedia establece un problema que ocupa a Nietzsche durante el resto de su carrera.
