Nietzsche announces in Preface to Self-Criticism, the preface written in 1886 for The Birth of Tragedy (1872), that the essential thing in his youth work is to oppose the moral interpretations and justifications of existence. The history of the Occident is the narrative by which a condemnatory judgment of life was born out of Socratism and Christianity. The denial of life through morality initiates nihilism. The phenomenon of nihilism becomes the object of constant analysis in its philosophical reflection from 1880. Aiming at understanding this polysemous theme, Nietzsche relates his various manifestations from a common axis: the moral interpretation of existence. He philosopher intends to cross the nihilism from an interpretation and an aesthetic justification, as a form of affirmation of the life, denominated of Dionisiac. The Dionysian is the tragic pathos, the affirmative form par excellence. The tragic becomes the fundamental concept for the understanding of the meaning of existence that is configured in the identification of life and will to power, whose tragic is the incessant struggle of antagonisms. In this way, we want to elucidate in the first moment the tragic nature of existence, what is tragic in it, and why it is tragic. In the second moment, research seeks to elucidate the denial of existence, situating the twilight moment of moral interpretation and nihilism, in view of the devastating horizon of God's death. Given the ambiguity of nihilism which can signify both a state of exhaustion and a state of force, we start from the hypothesis that it needs to be overcome. In the third moment, we will analyze the overcoming of the nihilism that will be realized by the tragic interpretation, in which there is a transvaluation of the values with which the existence was judged, condemned and denied. Aesthetic transvaluation can be thought of as a promise of overcoming and as a realization of the crossing of nihilism, offering a new way of understanding becoming, suffering and oneself. The tragic pathos is the aesthetic transvaluation of existence, and through it one experiences the "become what you are".
