This book illustrates a concept whose only norm is sophrosune with an artistic description of the top half of Raphael's Transfiguration. This book, which compares ancient "cheerfulness" with Schiller's modern "naivete," cites Gotthold Lessing's refusal to receive perfect knowledge from God to attack the "theoretical man." Ulrich Wilamowitz made his career with an attack on this book. It quotes Schopenhauer's description of a sailor in a storm illustrating the principium individuationis and uses "the phenomenon," or maya, and the mask as equivalents for a concept it identifies with illusion. This book argues that the dialogue of a play and its chorus, respectively, belong to the realms of "dreams" and "drunkenness." The author called this book "dubious" and links its writing to the tumult of the Franco-Prussian War in an 1886 "Attempt at Self-Criticism." For 10 points, name this book that outlines the Apollonian and Dionysian drives and praises Richard Wagner, by Friedrich Nietzsche.
