SCHELLING, NIETZSCHE AND THE TRAGIC ART: AFFINITIES BETWEEN AFFIRMATIVE PHILOSOPHIES

This article intends to show Schelling's and Nietzsche's interpretations about the tragic art. Before these two philosophies attempts to approach some coinciding points between the two philosophers. On the one hand, Schelling cares to overcome the dichotomy freedom/needs so that he is able to affirm the freedom. On the other hand, Nietzsche aims to overcome the pessimism and, after that, affirm the life. Therefore, it is remarkable the fact that the two philosophers find, in tragic art, a path extremely positive, because both authors promote an overcome and affirmation.
