Tossup
In this book, a figure’s “double-being” is summarized via the formula, “all that exists is just and unjust and equally justified in both.” This book describes the origins of an archetypal person who finds pleasure in unveiling truth, whom it calls the “theoretical man.” Camille Paglia’s Sexual Personae uses the word “chthonian” in place of a concept introduced in this book, which is exemplified by poems called dithyrambs. Fourteen years after writing this book, which was his first, its author walked it back in the prefatory essay “An Attempt at Self-Criticism.” This book claims that an imbalance arose between the ordered and chaotic impulses in art, which it calls the Apollonian and Dionysian. For 10 points, name this book by Friedrich Nietzsche on a genre practiced by Aeschylus and Euripides. ■END■
