This is the third volume to appear in an edition that will be the
first complete, critical, and annotated English translation of all
of Nietzsche's work. Volume 2: "Unfashionable Observations,"
translated by Richard T. Gray, was published in 1995; Volume 3:
"Human, All Too Human (I)," translated by Gary Handwerk, was
published in 1997. The edition is a new English translation, by
various hands, of the celebrated Colli-Montinari edition, which has
been acclaimed as one of the most important works of scholarship in
the humanities in the last half century.
The present volume provides for the first time English translations
of all of Nietzsche's unpublished notebooks from the summer of 1872
to the end of 1874. The major works published in this period were
the first three "Unfashionable Observations" "David Strauss the
Confessor and the Writer," "On the Utility and Liability of History
for Life," and "Schopenhauer as Educator." Translations of the
preliminary notes for these pieces are coordinated with the
translations of the published texts printed in Volume 2:
"Unfashionable Observations."
The content of these notebooks goes far beyond the notes and plans
for published and unpublished "Unfashionable Observations,"
encompassing numerous sketches related to Nietzsche's major
philological project from this period, a book on the pre-Platonic
Greek philosophers. The ideas that emerged from Nietzsche's
deliberations on these early Greek thinkers are absolutely central
to his thought from this period and contribute in significant ways
to the development of several of his major themes: the role of the
philosopher vis-a-vis his age and the surrounding culture; the
relationships among philosophy, art, and culture; the metaphorical
nature of language and its relationship to knowledge; the unmasking
of the modern drive for absolute "truth" as a palliative against
the horror of existence; and Nietzsche's "unfashionable" attack on
modern science and modern culture, especially on the Germany of the
Bismarck Reich. These notebooks represent important transitional
documents in Nietzsche's intellectual development, marking, among
other things, the shift away from philological studies toward
unabashed cultural criticism.
