AB - This paper interprets culture as a way of meeting with pains. The main purpose of this paper is to justify this interpretation by reconstructing the Nietzsche’s tragedy theory. Culture may be viewed as a system that provides meanings through which pain can be endured. In western culture, tragedy is one of representative art forms. In other words, tragedy is a form of higher culture that gives meanings to pains into which the meaningless cruel fate of human being brings us. At the same time, it is art that leads us to “affirm” and “love” the unavoidable meaninglessness of pain, rather than raging against its meaninglessness. Tragedy, in a word, is a “system that offers meaning”, which affirms the meaninglessness of pain and it is a healthy culture that is based on cool actual recognition. It is this point that Nietzsche would like to speak, when he deals with tragedy.
Pain in itself is meaningless. If life ultimately provides the significance of all things for Nietzsche, and if the meaning of life as such can not be asked, the unavoidable pain in life is also left meaningless. Nietzsche says that we should affirm and love even the meaninglessness of the pain (amor fati). Yet this affirmation and the love of pain is unconditional and blind as life is. He connects it with the madness of Dionysos, which is the last way that cope with the meaninglessness of pain, and the madness of love. This madness of love is thus regarded as a motive power that drives us to create constantly apollonian appearance (culture-art) without reason.
