This volume of The Complete Works provides the first English
translation of all Nietzsche's unpublished notes from April 1885 to
the summer of 1886, the period in which he wrote his breakthrough
philosophical books Beyond Good and Evil and On the Genealogy of
Morality. Keen to reinvent himself after Thus Spoke Zarathustra,
the philosopher used these unpublished notes to chart his search
for a new philosophical voice. The notebooks contain copious drafts
of book titles; critical retrospection on his earlier projects; a
critique of the feminine; prophetic commentary on Germany; and
forays into metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, and
language. They also reveal his deep concern for Europe and its
future and a burgeoning presence of the Dionysian. We learn what
Nietzsche was reading and from whom he borrowed, and we find a
considerable portion of notes and fragments from the non-book "Will
to Power," though here they are unembellished and unmediated.
Richly annotated and accompanied by a detailed translator's
afterword, this landmark volume sheds light on the controversy
surrounding the Nachlass of the 1880s.
