150 years after the publication of Nietzsche’s first book *The Birth of
Tragedy from the Spirit of Music*, the provocative philosopher’s work
continues to fulfil his own prediction that he would only be born
posthumously “with a voice that spans millennia.” Tracing the development
of art and culture back to a conflictual drama-turgy between the two primal
forces of Apollo and Dionysus, Nietzsche’s debut work celebrated the Greek
classicists and modern romantics alike for having the strength to affirm
and even delight in their aesthetic depictions of the immense suffering
that nature and the gods invariably wreak upon humankind.

Nietzsche’s impact on both art and philosophy has been nothing short of
seismic, from Norman Lindsay’s The Antichrist of Nietzsche, to Sigmund
Freud’s psychoanalysis, to Aby Warburg’s iconography, to Paul Taylor’s Art
& Text.

This symposium, convened by Paris Lettau and Vincent Le with INDEX-JOURNAL,
presents papers from a broad range of scholars newly examining Nietzsche’s
own writing and his later influence at the intersection of art and
philosophy, both ancient and modern, in Australia and abroad.



Kind regards,
The Melbourne School of Continental Philosophy.
