Overview

Frederick Nietzsche was born at Roecken near Lu tzen, in the Prussian province of Saxony, on the 15th of October 1844, at 10 a.m. The day happened to be the anniversary of the birth of Frederick- William IV., then King of Prussia. (...) Science, art, and philosophy developed and became ever more closely related in him, until, in The Birth of Tragedy, they brought forth a centaur, that is to say, a work which would have been an impossible achievement to a man with only a single, special talent. This polyphony of different talents, all coming to utterance together and producing the richest and boldest of harmonies, is the fundamental feature not only of Nietzsche's early days, but of his whole development. It is once again the artist, philosopher, and man of science, who as one man in later years, after many wanderings, recantations, and revulsions of feeling, produces that other and rarer Centaur of highest rank-Zarathustra. - Taken from The Birth Of Tragedy written by Friedrich Nietzsche
