This article takes into consideration the concept of the origin of the religion of Dionysus, as it is set out in the volume of Vjacheslav Ivanov which was fi nally reprinted in the year 1994. In ...spite of its apparent content, hinted at in the title, many scholars have come to the conclusion that the book deals as much with Christianity, as it does with Dionysus cult. At the same time, independently from the preconceptions and value systems of many critics of Ivanov’s ideas, his conclusion «The Son of God was born among the Hellenes» has been challenged both by certain contemporary classical philologists as well as by some theologians. But at the same time, if we examine besides the recent studies of Ivanov, the entire complex of contemporary studies of early Christian and Byzantine art, which have appeared during the past decades, we are led to believe that we should be more attentive to some of the conclusions of Ivanov himself. For Ivanov, the Russian «Hellene», Christianity seems to be both the dialectical negation and at the same time the crowning summit of the whole of ancient culture

Book Chapter
This chapter evaluates the biography of Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche and elaborates on his particular thoughts on musical philosophy. Nietzsche was born on October 15, 1844 in Röcken. Three phases can ...be recognized in Nietzsche's philosophy, although it should be noted that the differences are much less momentous than they are sometimes considered to be. For Nietzsche, the given cultural circumstances played a decisive role in addressing the content of the artworks that were developed. The philosophy of music occupied a larger place in Nietzsche's early work. His theories of opera and of the music dramas of the future were based on his attitude toward life. The most direct relationship of Nietzsche's philosophy of music to a music philosophy of the twentieth century occurred with Martin Heidegger. His philosophy of music affected how classical philologists have understood tragedy.
The Greek of the New Testament has been variously explained throughout the centuries with significant implications for hermeneutics due to different definitions of its nature, and the application of ...different linguistic methodologies. Though modern insights have not fully replaced old convictions, the 70s saw a gradual acceptance of general linguistic principles, while the 80s may be called a time of awakening. Hopefully the 90s will see a renewal moving beyond traditional grammar towards a full-fledged semantic approach.
