In Nietzsche’s philosophy, terms like ‘Apollonian and Dionysian’ refer to :
Answer: B
Apollonian and Dionysian refer to forces.
In The Birth of Tragedy (1872), Nietzsche describes two artistic forces or drives at work in nature and in Greek culture. The Apollonian is the force of order, form, measure and individuation, seen in dream and the plastic arts; the Dionysian is the force of intoxication, ecstasy and the dissolution of the individual, seen in music. Greek tragedy, he argued, was born of their union.
Nietzsche took the names from the Greek gods Apollo and Dionysus, which is why 'Greek Gods' and 'Myths' are tempting, but in his philosophy the terms stand for these opposing forces, not for the gods or for mental images.
