Nietzsche: The Birth of Tragedy and Other Writings (Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy)

The Birth of Tragedy is one of the seminal philosophical works of the modern period.

This edition presents a new translation by Ronald Speirs and an introduction by Raymond Geuss that sets the work in its historical and philosophical context. The volume also includes two essays on related topics that Nietzsche wrote during the same period.
