This volume provides the first English translation of Nietzsche's
unpublished notes from the spring of 1884 through the winter of
1884–85, the period in which he was composing the fourth and
final part of his favorite work, Thus Spoke Zarathustra. These
notebooks therefore provide special insight into Nietzsche's
philosophical concept of superior humans,as well as important clues
to the identities of the famous nineteenth-century European figures
who inspired Nietzsche's invention of fictional characters such as
"the prophet," "the sorcerer," and "the ugliest human."In these
notebooks, Nietzsche also further explores ideas that were
introduced in the first three parts of Thus Spoke Zarathustra:
Zarathustra's teaching about the death of God; his proclamation
that it is time for humankind to overcome itself and create the
superhumans; his discovery that the secret of life is the will to
power; and his most profound thought—that the entire cosmos will
eternally return. Readers will encounter here a wealth of material
that Nietzsche would include in his next book, Beyond Good and
Evil, as he engages the ideas of Kant and Schopenhauer, challenges
cultural icons like Richard Wagner, and mercilessly exposes the
foibles of his contemporaries, especially of his fellow Germans.
Readers will also discover an extensive collection of Nietzsche's
poetry. Richly annotated and accompanied by a detailed translators'
afterword, this volume showcases the cosmopolitanism at work in
Nietzsche's multifaceted and critical exploration of aesthetic and
cultural influences that transcend national (and nationalist)
notions of literature, music, and culture.
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.
This volume in The Complete Works presents the first English
translations of Nietzsche's unpublished notebooks from Winter
1874/1875 through 1878, the period in which he developed the mixed
aphoristic-essayistic mode that continued across the rest of his
career. These notebooks comprise a range of different materials,
including early drafts and near-final versions of aphorisms that
would appear in both volumes of Human, All Too Human. Additionally,
there are extensive notes for a never-completed Unfashionable
Observation that was to be titled "We Philologists," early drafts
for the final sections of "Richard Wagner in Bayreuth," plans for
other possible publications, and detailed reading notes on
philologists, philosophers, and historians of his era, including
Friedrich August Wolf, Eugen Duhring, and Jacob Burckhardt. Through
this volume, readers gain insight into Nietzsche's emerging sense
of himself as a composer of complexly orchestrated, stylistically
innovative philosophical meditations-influenced by, but moving well
beyond, the modes used by aphoristic precursors such as Goethe, La
Rochefoucauld, Vauvenargues, and Schopenhauer. Further, these
notebooks allow readers to trace more closely Nietzsche's
development of ideas that remain central to his mature philosophy,
such as the contrast between free and constrained spirits, the
interplay of national, supra-national, and personal identities, and
the cultural centrality of the process of Bildung as formation,
education, and cultivation. With this latest book in the series,
Stanford continues its English-language publication of the famed
Colli-Montinari edition of Nietzsche's complete works, which
include the philosopher's notebooks and early unpublished writings.
Scrupulously edited so as to establish a new standard for the
field, each volume includes an Afterword that presents and
contextualizes the material it contains.
More than any other figure, Friedrich Nietzsche is cited as the
philosopher who anticipates and previews the philosophical themes
that have dominated French theory since structuralism. Informed by
the latest developments in both contemporary French philosophy and
Nietzsche scholarship, Alan Schrift's "Nietzsche's French Legacy"
provides a detailed examination and analysis of the way the French
have appropriated Nietzsche in developing their own critical
projects.
Using Nietzsche's thought as a springboard, this study makes
accessible the ideas of some of the most important and difficult of
contemporary French poststructuralist theorists including Jacques
Derrida, Gilles Deleuze, Michel Foucault and Helene Cixous. Through
a careful analysis and close reading of the texts of Nietzsche and
French poststructuralism, Schrift illuminates the ways in which
Nietzsche's thought prefigures certain poststructuralist motifs. He
demonstrates how several dominant themes in contemporary French
philosophy emerge out of Nietzsche's own thinking. As one of the
first books to critically examine the work of the new French
anti-Nietzschean's, Schrift defends the value of poststructuralism
and Nietzsche as critical resources for confronting the present.
First published in 1991. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
Although Nietzsche is frequently cited as a forerunner of
contemporary approaches to interpretations, little attention has
been paid to the specific contributions to interpretation theory
found in the Nietzschean text. Schrift's well-documented study
rectifies this situation. Drawing on resources from classical and
contemporary French, German and English Nietzsche scholarship, this
study focuses on a basic interpretive dilemma: how to avoid the
dogmatic positing of one interpretation as the correct one without
lapsing into unmitigated relativism in which all interpretations
are regarded as equally legitimate. While making the Heideggerian,
Derridean, and several other French post-structuralists of
Nietzsche accessible to specialist and non-specialist alike, this
study clearly exposes the dogmatic tendency of Heidegger and the
relativistic tendency to deconstruction. In a wide ranging and
lucid commentary, this study puts Nietzsche in contact with the
hermeneutic tradition in a unique way. Arguing that a tension in
Nietzsche's diverse remarks on interpretation anticipates the
hermeneutic pluralist alternative to Heidegger and deconstruction.

This volume provides the first English translation of Nietzsche's
unpublished notes from late 1879 to early 1881, the period in which
he authored Dawn, the second book in the trilogy that began with
Human, All Too Human and concluded with The Joyful Science. In
these fragments, we see Nietzsche developing the conceptual triad
of morals, customs, and ethics, which undergirds his critique of
morality as the reification into law or dogma of conceptions of
good and evil. Here, Nietzsche assesses Christianity's role in the
determination of moral values as the highest values and of
redemption as the representation of humanity's highest aspirations.
These notes show the resulting tension between Nietzsche's
contrasting thoughts on modernity, which he critiques as an
unrecognized aftereffect of the Christian worldview, but also views
as the springboard to "the dawn" of a transformed humanity and
culture. The fragments further allow readers insight into
Nietzsche's continuous internal debate with exemplary figures in
his own life and culture—Napoleon, Schopenhauer, and Wagner—who
represented challenges to hitherto existing morals and
culture—challenges that remained exemplary for Nietzsche
precisely in their failure. Presented in Nietzsche's aphoristic
style, Dawn is a book that must be read between the lines, and
these fragments are an essential aid to students and scholars
seeking to probe this work and its partners.

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.
