How did Nietzsche the philosopher come into being? The Nietzsche
known today did not develop 'naturally', through the gradual
maturation of some inborn character. Instead, from an early age he
engaged in a self-conscious campaign to follow his own guidance,
thereby cultivating the critical capacities and personal vision
which figure in his books. As a result, his published works are
steeped in values that he discovered long before he mobilised their
results. Indeed, one could argue that the first work which he
authored was not a book at all, but his own persona. Based on
scholarship previously available only in German, this book examines
Nietzsche's unstable childhood, his determination to advance
through self-formation, and the ways in which his environment,
notably the Prussian education system, alternately influenced and
impeded his efforts to find his own way. It will be essential
reading for all who are interested in Nietzsche.
