Friedrich Schiller
In Friedrich von Schiller's "Ode to Joy," Apollonianism and Dionysianism represent the tension between reason and emotion or order and chaos. The poem reflects a harmonious balance of these opposing forces, with the ode celebrating the inherent beauty in both rationality (Apollonianism) and ecstasy (Dionysianism). This synthesis of opposites contributes to the overall theme of joy and unity in the poem.
