悲劇的誕生The Birth Of Tragedy 第89期:蘇格拉底與藝術對立
Since we have discovered an anti-Dionysian tendency antedating Socrates, its most brilliant exponent, we must now ask, "Toward what does a figure like Socrates point?"
Faced with the evidence of the Platonic dialogues, we are certainly not entitled to see in Socrates merely an agent of disintegration.
我們就不應畏避而不談這問題。以柏拉圖的對話錄而論，我們固然不能把這現象看作僅僅是瓦解性的否定勢力。While it is clear that the immediate result of the Socratic strategy was the destruction of Dionysian drama, we are forced, nevertheless, by the profundity of the Socratic experience to ask ourselves whether, in fact, art and Socratism are diametrically opposed to one another, whether there is really anything inherently impossible in the idea of a Socratic artist?
雖然無疑蘇格拉底的傾向的直接影響促使酒神悲劇瓦解，但是蘇格拉底的深刻的生活經驗令我們不得不追問：是否蘇格拉底主義與藝術之間必然只有對立的關係呢，是否“藝術家蘇格拉底”的誕生這句話就根本是自相矛盾的呢？
