Nietzsche und the “vision of the world” (Weltanschauung) on The Birth of Tragedy

Abstract

The “vision of the world” (Weltanschauung) is a question that has been overlooked by a large number of researchers in Nietzsche’s thinking, although it appears quite in his writings. Few interpreters have touched on this notion, and they only direct their attention to very specific points of view, highlighting some less essential aspects of it. It seems that the concept of Weltanschauung has never been considered as an independent object within Nietzsche’s work. This work aims to elaborate an interpretive path, highlighting its importance and, above all, the place he owns within one of his first writings, The Birth of the Tragedy.
