In this episode, I continue my presentation of Critique of Pure Reason, specifically presenting the first two chapter of the "Transcendental Dialectic."

In this episode, I take a stab at Nietzsche (in)famous inaugural text, "The Birth of Tragedy." It is here that he tries to trace the history of tragedy (and art more generally) to the Ancient Greeks. Specifically, as the product of the tension between the gods Apollo and Dionysus.
