Nietzsche and the Dionysian: A Compulsion to Ethics

By Peter Durno Murray

Nietzsche and the Dionysian argues that the Dionysian affect in Nietzsche's early work can be linked to an originary interruption of self-consciousness articulated by the philosophical companion, who compels us to respond to the plurality of life they express by being 'true to the earth' and 'becoming who we are'. Such an ethics, compelled by the Dionysian affect, grounds any future for humanity in the affirmation of the earth and life.
