    Which German word does Nietzsche use to designate the artistic state of Apollonian and Dionysian frenzy?

    Question #82281. Asked by tragic_flawed. (Jun 20 07 11:38 PM)

    		Are you looking for the word Übermensch (the superman) by any chance?

    		The Übermensch, I suppose, is to be found in "Thus Spoke Zarathustra", while Nietzsche discusses the conflict between Apollo and Dionysos in an earlier work, called "The Birth of Tragedy".
    Quote: "Nietzsche's aesthetic usage of the concepts, which was later developed philosophically, began with his book The Birth of Tragedy. In this work, he stated that a fusion of Dionysian and Apollonian "Kunsttriebe" (artistic impulses) is dramatic art's (tragedy's) main prerequisite and that this has essentially not been achieved since ancient Greek tragedy."

    I am not sure which German word you are looking for, though. Could you be more specific?
