Literary notes about inebriation (AI summary)
In literature, the word "inebriation" has often carried symbolic and metaphorical weight beyond its literal sense of intoxication. For instance, in Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche’s work, as seen in the passage titled "Belief in Inebriation" from The Dawn of Day [1], the term is used to evoke a profound state of mind where one is overwhelmed by the intoxicating effects of philosophical or existential insights. This use transforms the physical state of inebriation into a metaphor for the loss of conventional rationality, suggesting that deep belief or passion can similarly intoxicate the mind, leading to both creative insight and existential uncertainty.
