Some Nietzsche critics (in particular, those, such as Jean Granier, indebted to Heidegger's reading), in effect translated Nietzsche's terms back into those of a philosophy of ontology. This book (which includes an appendix specifically directed against the \"Heideggerian\" reading) shows how such an approach fails to interrogate the precise terms, such as \"Nature\" or \"life\", that Nietzsche used in place of \"being\", and to ask the meaning of this substitution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDealing with all of Nietzsche's work, this book shows how he came to arrive at that position, and that to shift the question from ontology to psychology involves an important shift in the status of metaphor. The author begins with the privilege accorded to music and sound in Nietzsche's thought, to tone as an echo of the universal human pleasure and pain that serves as a foundation to all language. The Birth of Tragedy establishes a hierarchy between the different symbolic languages, which are metaphorical transpositions of the \"music\" of the world, itself the most appropriate representation of the innermost essence of things.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSarah Kofman is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Paris I.
