The article deals both with the presuppositions and the implications of the "tragic death of the Greek tragedy", the way it is developed in the work The Birth of Tragedy by Nietzsche. Exploring the counter position between scientific knowledge and tragic art it is intended to show how the nietzschean interpretation of Greece is marked by problem that link it to the German aesthetic-philosophical tradition of the end of the 18thcentury and the 19thcentury. Wagner's work will act as the bridge between "both worlds" (Greece and Germany), for it is through Wagnerian music in which the spirit of tragedy is present, that the boundary of the scientific view of the world will be seen more clearly and intensely and that it will be possible to conjecture the return of the tragic.

Keywords : Nietzsche; Scientifc Knowledge; Music; Tragic Art.
