Abstract
Tragic balance in art philosophy of Nietzsche consisting of summation of Dionysian and Apollonian and balance between them. Dionysian is will to unity with Origin and affirming to it and Apollonian is the same affirming in the life form. Move to be united with Origin in Dionysian mode in Hafiz poem and theosophical tradition is mystic intoxication one that is symbolized with wine and cupbearer. Traditionally in theosophy, move to be united with Origin and finitude in it, is always the absolute value. But Tragic is different. Tragic at the same time with reserve this will, inquire the Origin in the emanations of it as nature and life and individuality. The tragic balance should be known as affirming of all aspects of being, this in Hafiz poems equal with contentedness and libertinism. Hafiz against the whole tradition of Sophism that was altogether upon ebriety or sobriety, it means in the direction of finitude in God or asceticism and hypocrisy, or an insipid mixture of them; represented a solution to remain in the tragic scene of being, not infinitude but in contentedness that is resulting from libertinism, partake from intoxication of presenting in presence of being.
