Symphony and the birth of tragedy show what beethovens and


The Enlightenment and Science assume that the foundation of our humanity lies in reason, whereas both Beethoven and Nietzsche, in these two works, argue or at least suggest that the foundation of our humanity lies elsewhere. In other words, the Enlightenment/Science puts stock in reason and would criticize Beethoven and Nietzsche for putting stock in something else, whereas Beethoven and Nietzsche would criticize the Enlightenment/Science for this very reason: the Enlightenment/Science puts stock ONLY in reason. With reference to the 5th Symphony and The Birth of Tragedy, show what Beethoven's and Nietzsche's response would be to the Enlightenment/Science position. Without reason, what, according to Beethoven's 5th and Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy, will ensure that human beings remain humane? How would they defend their own view of the source of man's humanity and criticize the view of the source of our humanity according to the Enlightenment/Science?
