[MD] The Birth of Tragedy/CH2 and the MOQ

[118]

Thanks Arlo,
Yes, I agree that it is more noble from the point of philosophy to deal with the two stated forms of Quality.  One of my interests is drawing in the masses, as I try to do in conversations outside of this forum.

As I see it in my simple way, A/D is said by Nietzsche, as an expression of "energy" as described by the analogy of world view.  What does N say about their interconversion?  DQ and sq are often depicted as distinct concepts with DQ promoting sq.  It is this relationship that I am interested in within MoQ, and I am hoping that your reading may shed some light on this.

Thanks,

Mark
