The Birth of Tragedy as a book on tragedy has shaped in that intellectual tradition within German thought which enquires into the nature of tragedy - Greek tragedy, above all. This tradition goes back at least to herder and Lessing in the eighteenth century, and it continues to Schelling, Hegel and Nietzsche. Common to all contributors, up to and including Nietzsche, is their profound interest in the literature of ancient Greece. They all take issue, in a variety of different ways, with the classic theory of tragedy propounded in Aristotle’s Poetics. Therefore, examining similarities and differences between Poetics and The Birth of Tragedy can help the reader to understand the foundation of The Birth of Tragedy. In this essay, I first explicate some of these similarities, such as a belief in genres as entities with specifiable property and peculiarities. Then I try to explicate some of the differences between these two theories, as briefly as possible. And finally I conclude this essay with what seems to me as a criticism of Aristotle’s Poetics from the standpoint of The Birth of Tragedy.
