"...in the augmentation of which the subjective vanishes to complete self-forgetfulness." This is why Alan Watts hits so hard, because he's talking about the above, but in language we all enjoy hearing. When academics use jargon to describe satori, it really makes me wonder if they've ever touched the magic, or if they're just re-wording the accounts of other people who have.

This was fantastic. It's amazing to me how the overall direction of "duality seeking unity" keeps coming up in every aspect of reality. Yin and yang, right and left hemisphere, the masculine and feminine, intuition and will, etc. To balance or marry Dionysus with Apollo brings transcendence of the duality. Exploring these philosophies is like peaking behind the window of creation and understanding oneself in context to the All.

Excellent video, thank you. I love the idea of identifying the will/representation distinction with music and visual art. That gives me some inspiration to work towards reading that work. Regarding Wagner's reunification of spoken word and music, that reminds me of Beethoven's 9th symphony (which you play in this video). It was the first major use of the human voice in a symphony. The final movement begins with the restatement and "rejection" of each of the previous movement's themes, almost like an attempt to investigate and reject the metaphysical ideals represented by the minor-key movements. That's followed by a lone baritone singing, ''O Freunde, nicht diese Töne!' Sondern laßt uns angenehmere anstimmen, und freudenvollere.'' ("Oh friends, not these sounds! Let us instead strike up more pleasing and more joyful ones!"). Then, there's the famous Ode to Joy in the Chorus. I can't think of a better example of reunifying pure music with the Chorus!

I may be too quick to liken them, but Dostoevsky sounds like Euripides? That being said, I'd like a thorough understanding of the Apollonian and the Dionysian. I seem to follow most of Kant's, through to Arthur's, and then Freidrich's thoughts up until that point. It would be nice to get directed to a source of enlightenment regarding the two ideas.

The late Nietzsche would probably not be so critical of the humanisation of the Gods and the firm focus on the real world of Euripides’ plays, seeing as his main objection with them was that they didn’t oblige to Schopenhauer’s unity of the will, in the first edition of The birth of Tragedy. After he rejected Schopenhauer’s essence of the world, and started embracing this life passionately, I see no reason for the endurance of his Euripidean criticism in these 2 subjects.

It appears to me that In the time since Nietzsche’s own plastic art has become increasingly Dionysian, through movements such as abstract expressionism, while music has become increasingly Apollonian, given the emphasis on clear cut lyrics that tell the listener how they should feel throughout the work, common in the modern “single” format. This change itself could be seen as a Dionysian movement, in that the older boundaries between the media have become increasingly blurred.

I disagree. Plastic art is totally cerebral and rational, with a few exceptions, since 1900. Initially jazz was Dionysian, with Armstrong, etc., but became increasingly cerebral and conceptual. Pop music in the sixties had a strong Dionysian element, viz. The Doors and The Stones, but with the advent of electronic pop - music literally made by computers - has also become sterile and cerebral, even as it purports to be Dionysian. The Dionysian impulse remains - we see it in raves, for example - but I see no art, or almost none, rising to the challenge. Literature is moribund, and I say that as a novelist myself. Hardly any contemporary writers are worth reading. Even fewer have even a Dionysian streak in their work.

@@markoslavicek You're right, that was hurried, thoughtless writing. Obviously you need both, and there is much Apollonian art that I admire, like the music of Bach or Mozart, or the architect of Palladio or Christopher Wren. What I meant was that art becomes sterile when it's purely rational, and divorced from feeling and intuition. I think that's true of much contemporary art in all fields. However, you're right that order and reason are in themselves not harmful, of course. Only if taken to excess - like the Bauhaus, for example.

@@garrycraigpowell I guess it all depends on how we define Apollonian and Dionysian. Rational/intuitive is surely a good perspective, but I also like to add form and content, visual and audible (if we discuss 'primary senses' to which those impulses aspire), and of course, spatial and temporal. Finally, I like to draw an analogy with pre-Socratic notions of Being and Becoming. Apollonian would in that case be the form, the material, that which is, whereas the Dionysian being the flux, the change, the energy. Cosmologically speaking, space and time form a unity called 'spacetime'. There cannot be Becoming without Being because if nothing material exists (the spatial), change cannot be detected. The change is only change if it changes 'something'. Equally so, if there is no temporal element, Being cannot exist because it is nullified into a singularity of a moment. And so, the temporal and the spatial - the Apollonian and the Dionysian - coexist in reality and are divided only through our senses and interpretation. Greek theatre was a fusion of these two aspects of art because it included both the spatial/visual (masks, stage, scene, architecture) and temporal/performative (acting, singing, dancing). A feast for eyes and ears. By the same reasoning, sculpture is always an Apollonian medium and music is always a Dionysian one, but any medium can aim to express different instincts. I like your examples of 60s pop music and electronic raves of today. They are surely Dionysian in the way we consume them (ecstatic frenzy at the concerts for example). The other example mentioned in the original comment - the abstract expressionist painting - while visual and 'unchangeable', aims to capture the frenzied movement and chaos. Basically, any art medium is able to express both impulses, bound only by limitations of the medium itself. This is where theatre has an advantage - it contains more than a single medium and is able to represent both static and dynamic forms of expression. That's why we easily categorise Mozart as an Apollonian composer even though there is nothing static about music as such. Unless... we talk about music of La Monte Young, for example. Or even Mortan Feldman. Some of their pieces are extremely 'static', which would make them way more Apollonian than any Mozart's movement. They say architecture is frozen music, but no - frozen music is the music of La Monte Young. In a similar way, meticulously calculated integral serialist pieces like those of Stockhausen or Xenakis are as rational as it gets. Again, Apollonian by definition, but their sound result appears to be entropic and Dionysian. This is why I like to imagine electronic music as an Apollonian art form, for it is a direct result of human rationality and artificial (not instinctive) achievement. And yet, those dance raves are Dionysian as a final product. We could apply the same to visual arts - dynamic sculptures, multimedia installations, etc. Apollonian by medium, Dionysian in expression. In the end, I guess one should differentiate Apollonian and Dionysian when it comes to categorisation of an art genre, and Apollonian and Dionysian when it comes to a particular work of art. I don't know if this stream of thought make any sense to you, but this is how I see it: Apollonian and Dioynsian as a continuum within which we can find both clear cut categories as well as overlapping and merging impulses.

I think that in this book (which is the only one I've red from Nietzsche) he describes undescribable, therefore it can be for some people hard to understand, but once you somehow had knew much of the things that are discussed there, or even rather than knew I would say experienced, yet before you went to read it, then it is just astonishing work that express something really deep, trully metaphysical! For me it was literally a pleasure to read it and to be honest this is besides Plato the first classic philosophical work I've ever read so I didn't have this 'philosophical' preparation. But how could it help anybody to rationally know all that history of philosophy if he never experienced that dionysian anguish and intoxication? If one doesn't know these things from his own experience then it must be very hard or even impossible to understand..

Art isn't a past time, a hobby, or carerer; it's a relic, to a weapons system, that can't yet be built by science or academics; otherwise, an obseleted design. This book, is the internal components guideline, in Nietzsche's sequence of 2-3 2-1 1, with the 2-1, as Ecce Homo. Each has a trap; here, fantasy, is removed, in favor of industry. The family replaced by the household.

Plato in his dialogue " The Republic " tells the allegory of " The Cave " Plato starts by telling us of prisoners being held in a sort of underground den, let us examine this den via the geometry of Bernhard Riemann and Felix Klein..Klein bottle..3rd and 4th dimensions. Plato tells us that the prisoners are bound up unable to move their heads, let us examine this bondage via the psychology of Erich Fromm.. socialisation of consciousness.. aware-unaware. Plato tells us that the prisoners mistake shadows for substance, let us examine this mistake via the philosophy of Thales and Kant.. synthetic a priori..not thing in itself. Plato tells us that one of the prisoners is released, let us examine this release via the instructions given by T.Lobsang Rampa..stilling the mind and conscious astral travel..leaving the cave/body. Plato tells us that the prisoners will reject this release, let us examine this rejection via the psychological effects of Stockholm syndrome..Plato quotes Homer " Better to be a poor man, and have a poor master, and endure anything, than to think and live after their manner " Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds.

This reminds me of a line of thought in my degree were looking at called Sonocentrisism vs Logocentrisim. The superiority of sound vs written/spoken/ lanaguge. Theres arguments for both but I think to agree with @gerard point about music. theres a amazing study where random participants are given a series of animation of balls bouncing at various rhythms and speeds, and then a number or sounds to listen to, the study is to observe if there are similarities in the ways we interpate sound when asked to pair the sound and movement animation together, almost ALL participants made the same choice. So while there are discrepancies in the ways we experience pitch, studies like this show how unified our experiences of sound are, the emotional connotations major and minor keys and their equivalents in non western music theory being another sign of this universality of experience. Just a few thoughts. Imo your take is a little too dry and Gerards a bit too esoteric, my belief is that the truth would maybe lie somewhere in the middle.

I think Schopenhauer has gotten it right in his metaphysics, yet I agree wholeheartedly with Nietzsches sentiment of affirmation. I’m wondering though, what philosophical arguments does Nietzsche have against Schopenhauers metaphysics? And how strong are his arguments?

Sounds like Nietzsche got full of himself. No longer a philosopher but a critique instead of giving an openmind / freewill to humanity. His first release was not a rigid representation and did not formalize a normalcy and gave self accountability not governed. He gave a reflection to self accountabilty along with Kant.

Saying God is dead demonstrates to me clearly that he did not know the principal of what he was talking about. Whether this world is an illusion or not, has to be known. Time and space, as illusions, must be explained as what illusion is. He did not comprehend the "Zoroaster" concept, and he went to his German belief to think of the Uberman. Like most Germans, they think they are special, as Zionist Jews think they are special. Metaphysicoan philosopher and fine art painter

Great analysis and presentation once again. Yes, a treatment of Dionysus would be good. Camille Paglia has a few things to say I know, but a revisit is needed. The forces of chaos seem way out of control. Could we not use more Apollo these days? I could be wrong. Would love to see what you would put together. Cheers!

isn't art inherently dyonisian and science apollonian?

Just add to the tragedy, that according to Hobbes, we are essentially apes, presto, we have our cripplingly disfunctional society.

As much as I like Neitechze (sic), he draws too much from 3 playwrights. If his conclusion were drawn from at least 8 playwrights, then I might see a pattern, but three is just too few.
