Nietzsche approaches this version in The Birth of Tragedy, even if he does so with an excess of Schopenhauerian coloration; later a stub- born determination dims the immanence of his perspicacity" (Nach Nietzsche
pp. 208-9). But does this dimming really occur? One would have to take into consideration this aphorism from Beyond Good and Evil: "Around the hero everything turns into a tragedy; around the demigod, into a satyr play; and around ? Perhaps into ? (trans. Kaufmann [New York: Vintage, ? p. 150). I am not sure whether Nietzsche intended to reproach imma- nence with a stubborn determination. It seems to me that his anti-Platonic demeanor and his decla- ration of war against the beyond can be understood ? a martial accompaniment to the "great operation": the introversion of metaphysics. See also Chapter 4 of this essay.

The twilight of the idols of the monarchy during the French Revolution was not alone in mark- ing the first appearance of the postmetaphysical situation; neither was this situation marked only by the development of abstract atheism or of native sensualism and materialism in the British and French thought of the eighteenth century. The considerably more significant date in the history of a postme-
taphysical thought and of Dionysian materialism ? must always at the same time be a dramatic, hermetic, and physiognomic materialism ? the birth of modern depth pyschology as mesmerism, animal magnetism, artificial somnambulism, and hypnotism around 1780. The piquant coexistence of these deepenings of subjectivity with a social occultism that is early socialist in nature has not yet been properly evaluated by intellectual historians.
