How is the apolinean dream and reason at the same time? Aren't they antagonics features of reality?

>>25301484i read this about a week ago. it's a good question. i think the link is individuation, the way in which the impersonal 'will' at the core of the world - something eternal, without form, without boundaries - creates individual people and phenomena. appolonian art focuses on those individual phenomena and their beauty: the vision in the dream, the precisely carved statue, the clear and confident words of the tragic hero. similarly apollonian ethics focuses on the individual man and how he should best manage his life, live within his limits, moderate his excesses, never transgress against the laws of gods or men - this is its rationality. it's opposed to the socratic rationality, which is also concerned with phenomena but (nietzsche says) deludes itself that it's grasping the heart of things, that it can develop an infinite knowledge of the whole universe.
