Nietzsche viewed tragedy as the art form of sensual acceptance of the terrors of reality and rejoicing in these terrors in love of fate (amor fati), and therefore as the antithesis to Socratic notion of strictly rational explanation, or the belief in the power of reason to unveil any and all of the mysteries of existence. Ironically, Socrates was fond of quoting from tragedies. A mostly ignored book in its era, Nietzsche's theories only becoming well known long after his death.
Edit: woops... I forgot Hegel, whom I quite admire. I'd have to say with my own interpretation that with him, it'd be a balancing act to produce an ultimate outcome; thesis/antithesis/synthesis...
I will go with Hegel on this one.
