NIETZSCHE INTERPRETED
“SON OF THE MORN!NG,”
a Portrait of Friedrich Niet
zsche; by Edward J. O'Brien,
New York; Brewer, Warren &
Putnam, Inc.; 294 pages; $3.50.
Reviewed by Rabbi A. Schus
terman.
' A popular historian of philoso
phy once remarked, ‘‘Nietzsche
never conceals himself. He rushes
into the first person on . every
page.” It is because Nietzsche {3
one of those thinkers whose life
and work are an indivisible whole.
,Ahla Edward J. O’'Brien’s portrad
‘of this unusual character, “Son of
‘the Morning,” this thought stands
out in relief. To interpret typ
mesrage of the poet-philosopher
one must follow the course of his
life as it flowed down-stream,
swollen by the bitter water of an
unfortunate mental inheritance and
an unhappy experience with love,
Essentidlly a story-teller, O'Brien
is comcerned with his subject's
life and with his philosophy only
as it reflects that life. lor that
reason, “San of the Morning” is a
‘thrilling story and not a philo
sophic discourse; the picture of a
man’'s heart which dominates his
intellectual faculties.
l In the prefatory note .to his
book the author calls the reader's
‘auention to three facts which he
| considers important and by which
we, the readers, should judge the
book. First of ali, he ~casts “new
Illght on the crucial * psychological
experience of Nietzzche ' out of
Iwhich his final philosophy of the
{ Will to Power and Eternal Re
]currence was born, linking it with
lu tragic experience in Nietzsche's
childhood.” Then the author points
out the paramount importance of
his relationship to Cosima Wag
nar and, finally, Nietzsche's hos
tility to Wagner himself, as it is
ll‘eflected primarily in “The Birth
of Tragedy.” and, ‘o some exfent,
!in his other books. If we are to
;judge the man by the standard
!suggested by O’Brien, our only
conclusion can be that Nietzsche
iwus what the tragedy of his fath
|er's life and his relation:hip with
tthe Wagners made him. Let us
iconsider these two determining
|factors in the life of the philoso
%ph'er.

a mere child, his father was trip-
ped by a dog. It happened on a
moonlight night (this faet is im
portant, says O'Brien) and . from
that time the father suffered from
concussion of the brain.. The
theory has been advanced that
the father’s fall was “the effect
rather than the cause of hi§ meh
tal disturbance.” The author at
tributes ' Nietzsche's © ehameleon
like disposition, which. culminated
in complete insanity, to this mens
tal inheritance from his father.
“To those who would have us be
lieve that Nietzsche's illnesses had
a phyrical basis amenable to med
ical" treatment, it may be pointed
out that whenever a holiday be
gins or there is a prospect of free
dom Nietzsche's pain disappears
for a time.” At midnight on Aug
ust 9, 1881 (also by moonlight)
when Nietzsche had reached the
age of his father at the time of his
father's accident, he hderwent
an experience during which * his
doctrines of eternal recurrence and
will-to-power were born., He was
- his father-reborn; but unlike his
father he — Friedrich — survived
‘the death-dealing experience that
had recurred and he rose from the
ldcud. “He was transformed”; he
| was a god. The memory of the
tragedy of his parents was the
creator of Zarathrustra, the
pathological >elf~gloyiflad Niet
zsche, the father -of ~ the Super
man. No cold, intellectually-con
' ceived philosophy this—but - bone
iof his bone and flesh of his fesh!
‘ His Hcopeless Love
Nietzsche's other obse:sions are
his hopeless love of Cositna and
his hostility to her husband, the
great " Wagner. " How these un
folded with the passing of the
years may be considered as
O’'Brien’s theme and possibly his
contribution to our. -knowledge of
Nietzsche. When news of Wag
ner’'s marriage to ' Cosima, his
mistress, reached - Nietzsche, his
response to the call of hopeless
love was “The Birth of Tragedy.”
The author. calls our = attention to
his interpretation of this book. It
is the story of Dionysos-Nietzsche
'who worships Ariadne-Cosima.
Unlike Schopenhauer who weuld
counsel, ‘“Leave what your - hedss
desires to Wagner,” Dionysvs
counsels the opposite, ‘Obey 'the
Will-to-power and cavture Cosi
ma.” In Nietzsche's subsequent
' productions, his will-to-power
(i, to capture Cosima) -and | his
awareness of defeat “in-the battle
of love become the changin
themes of* his wrkligfl..;}é ~ the
first périod of his ‘he is.Diony
sor. In the second period, the

“Blessed Event,”
Big Palace Special
Opening Monday
The worm has turned at last,
and the Broadway columnists who
have been. hiding behind their ;fiy
lines while telling the world every
body else's*secrets, are having the
spotlight thrown on their own
lives. :
For the first time, the screen
tells their’ secrets to * the public,
exposes their methods of collect
ing news and “spills the dipt”
about their private’ lives in' the
picture, “Blessed Event,” which
comes to the Palace theater Mon'-
day and 'Tuesday.
“Daisies won't tell,' says Lee
Tracy who plays the leading role
in “Blessed Event,” ‘“‘unless they
“hum)en to have the phone number
of a columnist. And now that,‘ the
movies are telling all about the
keyhole snoopers themselyes,
T T TT T T T
forswearing Dionysos. In it he
struggles to free himself from
Cosima, to kill his soul. Yet, as
O'Brien points out, this is inverted
love. During the last period,
which is the period of Zarathus
tra, he ‘reverts to Dionysos with
redoubled energy, identifying
himself with God.” He is beyond
human affection. Later he wrote,
“The Case of Wagner”’ in which
“his will-to-power explodes in de
vastating abundance.” Dionysos
will claim Ariadne—even if he has
to slay her to assure his eclaim.
In his last tragic note he gives
voice to his love: *“Ariadne, I love
.?hee, Dionygos.”
Readers of Nietzsche will wel
come this frank interpretation of
his philosophy. It is written in a
convincing: style; the author is
certain that he has found the key
to the writings, the thought, the
ypoetry of Friedrich Nietzsche, the
love-sick philosopher. L
