Dionysian, Atomism, Psychology

A main theme of the opening sections of Birth of Tragedy is the emergence of an individual person from a collective Dionysian experience.  So, to whatever extent Human, All Too Human continues that theme, the supplanting in the latter work of Metaphysics by Psychology as the basis of Morality, potentially could, with consistency, propose an Organicist concept of the individual Psyche , i. e. in which the motivations of the individual are fundamentally determined from within the context of the collective that spawns it.  However, the primary influence of the earlier work on the later turns out to be the opening up of a sphere of repressed emotions by Wagner's experiments in Dissonance and Modality.  As a result, even as Nietzsche continues to affirm his allegiance to Dionysus, his otherwise innovative concept of the Psyche is Apollinian, i. e. Atomistic, with his focus on Ressentiment and Pity felt by individual humans.  By implication, it is as individual entities, not as members of the human species, that humans are all too human.
