A review by lackritzj
Philosophy in the Tragic Age of the Greeks by Friedrich Nietzsche

I read this book translated by Marianne Cowan and published by Gateway but in 1962. The translator's preface is very good. The book itself is quite interesting with an expressive writing form that rises easily to the dramatic. Peeking out between the words is a philosopher who is reinterpreting the pre-Socratic Greeks in terms of his own concerns. A philosopher with an eye on the characteristics which make a philosopher long-lived in the eyes of readers. A philosopher who projects a sense of disdain for those who are his intellectual inferiors, of whom apparently there are many. The pre-Socratic upon whom he directs most of his attention is Anaximander.
