- Abstract
This work investigates a possible extension to physics teaching of the concepts of Apollonian and Dionysian, categories used by Friedrich Nietzsche in The Birth of Tragedy or Hellenism and Pessimism to describe the classical Greek theatre. They express two complementary characteristics of the Greek man or of the human mind in general. Apollonian refers to the visual sense, the plastic feel. It is limited, defined, precise, and individual. Dionysian refers to the auditory sense. It is amorphous, unlimited, indefinite, imprecise, and collective. The application of these concepts, by similarity, to some contemporary trends in physics teaching suggests that the most fruitful trends attempt to exploit this complementarity, while the most sterile trends are almost exclusively related to the predominance of one of these concepts.
