In: Estudios políticos: revista de ciencia política, Heft 26, S. 259-268

Abstract

This brief article applies the famous principles of Zarathustra (which emphasizes overcoming the basic human condition) to the Greek tragedies, likening Zarathustra to the spirit of Dionysus. A short overview of Nietzsche's legacy & contribution, encompassing the sciences, philosophy, anthropology, & social theory, are touched on, before moving on to the focal point of Greek tragedy & the fundamental ideas of Zarathustra. It concludes with critical comments, asserting that Zarathustra is not merely a literary, political, or philosophical creation, but also an anthropological exploration, such as was unleashed by the figure of Dionysus.
