The year 1888 marked the last year of Friedrich Nietzsche's
intellectual career and the culmination of his philosophical
development. In that final productive year, he worked on six books,
all of which are now, for the first time, presented in English in a
single volume. Together these new translations provide a
fundamental and complete introduction to Nietzsche's mature thought
and to the virtuosity and versatility of his most fully developed
style. The writings included here have a bold, sometimes radical
tone that can be connected to Nietzsche's rising profile and
growing confidence. In The Antichrist, we are offered an extended
critique of Christianity and Christian morality alongside blunt
diagnoses of contemporary Europe's cultural decadence. In Dionysus
Dithyrambs we are presented with his only work composed exclusively
of poetry, and in Twilight of the Idols we find a succinct summary
of his mature philosophical views. At times the works are also
openly personal, as in The Case of Wagner, which presents
Nietzsche's attempt to settle accounts with his former close
friend, German composer Richard Wagner, and in his provocative
autobiography, Ecce Homo, which sees Nietzsche taking stock of his
past and future while also reflecting on many of his earlier texts.
Scrupulously edited, this critical volume also includes commentary
by esteemed Nietzsche scholar Andreas Urs Sommer. Through this new
collection, students and scholars are given an essential
introduction to Nietzsche's late thought.
Written on the threshold of Thus Spoke Zarathustra during a high
point of social, intellectual and psychic vibrancy, The Joyful
Science (frequently translated as The Gay Science) is one of
Nietzsche's thematically tighter books. Here he debuts and
practices the art of amor fati, love of fate, to explore what is
"species preserving" in relation to happiness (Book One);
inspiration and the role of art as they keep us mentally fit for
inhabiting a world dominated by science (Book Two); the challenges
of living authentically and overcoming after the death of God (Book
Three); and the crescendo of life affirmation in which Nietzsche
revealed the doctrine of eternal recurrence and previewed the
figure of Zarathustra (Book Four). Invigorated and motivated by
Thus Spoke Zarathustra and Beyond Good and Evil, Nietzsche in 1887
added a new preface, an appendix of poems, and Book Five, where he
deepened the critique of science and displayed a more genealogical
approach. This volume provides the first English translation of the
Idylls from Messina and, more importantly, it includes the first
English translation of the notebooks of 1881-1882, in which
Nietzsche first formulated the eternal recurrence. Structurally and
stylistically, The Joyful Science remains Nietzsche's most
effective book of aphorisms, immediately after which he took on the
voice and alter ego of Zarathustra in order to push beyond the
boundaries of even the most liberating prose.

The words 'grounding', 'rhetoric', and 'earth' represent the book's
tripartite structure. Using a philological method Del Caro reveals
the 'ecological' Nietzsche whose doctrines are strategies for
responsible and creative partnership between humans and earth. The
major doctrines are shown to be related to early writings linked to
paganism, the quotidian, and the closest things of Human, All Too
Human. Perspective is shifted from time to place in the eternal
recurrence of the same, and from power to empowerment in the will
to power. This book is the first to comprehensively address the
issue of where Nietzsche stands in relation to environment, and it
will contribute to the 'greening' of Nietzsche.
An advanced introduction for students and a re-orientation for
Nietzsche scholars and intellectual historians on the development
of his thought and the aesthetic construction of his identity as a
philosopher. Nietzsche looms over modern literature and thought;
according to Gottfried Benn, "everything my generation discussed,
thought through innerly; one could say: suffered; or one could even
say: took to the point of exhaustion -- allof it had already been
said . . . by Nietzsche; all the rest was just exegesis."
Nietzsche's influence on intellectual life today is arguably as
great; witness the various societies, journals, and websites and
the steady stream ofpapers, collections, and monographs. This
Companion offers new essays from the best Nietzsche scholars,
emphasizing the interrelatedness of his life and thought, eschewing
a superficial biographical method but taking seriously his claim
that great philosophy is "the self-confession of its author and a
kind of unintended and unremarked memoir." Each essay examines a
major work by Nietzsche; together, they offer an advanced
introduction for students of German Studies, philosophy, and
comparative literature as well as for the lay reader.
Re-establishing the links between Nietzsche's philosophical texts
and their biographical background, the volume alerts
Nietzschescholars and intellectual historians to the internal
development of his thought and the aesthetic construction of his
identity as a philosopher. Contributors: Ruth Abbey, Keith

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.

Nietzsche regarded 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra' as his most important
work, and his story of the wandering Zarathustra has had enormous
influence on subsequent culture. Nietzsche uses a mixture of
homilies, parables, epigrams and dreams to introduce some of his
most striking doctrines, including the Overman, nihilism, and the
eternal return of the same. This edition offers a new translation
by Adrian Del Caro which restores the original versification of
Nietzsche's text and captures its poetic brilliance. Robert
Pippin's introduction discusses many of the most important
interpretative issues raised by the work, including who is
Zarathustra and what kind of 'hero' is he and what is the
philosophical significance of the work's literary form? The volume
will appeal to all readers interested in one of the most original
and inventive works of modern philosophy.
With the publication of Parerga and Paralipomena in 1851, there
finally came some measure of the fame that Schopenhauer thought was
his due. Described by Schopenhauer himself as 'incomparably more
popular than everything up till now', Parerga is a miscellany of
essays addressing themes that complement his work The World as Will
and Representation, along with more divergent, speculative pieces.
It includes essays on method, logic, the intellect, Kant,
pantheism, natural science, religion, education, and language. The
present volume offers a new translation, a substantial introduction
explaining the context of the essays, and extensive editorial notes
on the different published versions of the work. This readable and
scholarly edition will be an essential reference for those studying
Schopenhauer, the history of philosophy, and nineteenth-century
German philosophy.

Nietzsche wrote The Gay Science, which he later described as "perhaps my most personal book", when he was at the height of his intellectual powers, and the reader will find it an extensive and sophisticated treatment of the philosophical themes and views most central to Nietzsche's own thought and most influential on later thinkers. This volume presents the work in a new translation by Josefine Nauckhoff, with an introduction by Bernard Williams that elucidates the work's main themes and discusses their continuing importance.
