Mini-Test: Are You Apollonian or Dionysian?

https://spiritualseek.online/mini-tes...

-------------


The concept of Apollonian and Dionysian, developed by Friedrich Nietzsche, represents the two opposing principles that influenced the art and culture of ancient Greece. The Apollonian spirit is associated with order, rationality and ideal beauty, while the Dionysian spirit embodies chaos, instinct and the intoxication of life. Both principles are configured as responses to the suffering of living: the Dionysian deals with pain through intoxication, celebration of life and sensory pleasure, while the Apollonian seeks to give form and meaning to this suffering through rational reflection, art and sublimation. Which of these two existential modes prevails in you?
