Nietzsche's life project remains constant throughout his life: it is the project of transformation or transfiguration. He formulates this as the necessity of dealing with the way that one's past (be it that of an individual, or a society, or the species) shapes one's present. The paradigm for this transformation is first to be found in The Birth of Tragedy , but it reappears in various guises in all of his work. I argue that Nietzsche's writing is itself designed so as to make possible such a transformation in his readers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article analyzes the political views of German philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche regarding the tragedy, tyranny, cultural revolution and democracy in Europe. Nietzsche has created a book entitled "The Birth of Tragedy" which features the political themes of the modern world. He emphasizes that Greeks have succeeded in creating a classical purity which put a seductive choice between India and Rome. He also built the hierarchy of the creative strength to better understand the risk of tyranny.
