Преди трагедията да се роди
Before the Birth of the Tragedy

One Early Work of Nietzsche

Summary/Abstract: This article is a review of one of the Nietzsche’s early unpublished works The Dionysian Vision of the World (1928). My main task here is to show the plurality of the Nietzsche’s arguments towards his fundamental conceptual figures of Apollo and Dionisius. I present three important ideas of Nietzsche, which, in my opinion, are slightly altered in his first great work The Birth of the Tragedy (1872) in contrast with The Dionysian Vision of the World. First, it is the idea of the Will and its transformation towards his later works; second, the Apollo-Dionysus dynamic as it is presented in The Dionysian Vision of the World, and third, the appearance of Silenus. These three arguments I find the main points of interest in this work and my standpoint is that they can contribute in the understanding of Nietzsche’s texts in whole.
