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.
Few philosophers have been as popular, prolific, and controversial
as Friedrich Nietzsche, who has left his imprint not only on
philosophy but on all the arts. Whether it is his concept of the
ubermensch or his nihilistic view of the world, Nietzsche's
writings have aroused enormous interest, as well as anathema, in
scholars for centuries. This third edition of Historical Dictionary
of Nietzscheanism covers the history of this philosophy through a
chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive
bibliography. The dictionary section has over 400 hundred
cross-referenced entries on his major writings, his contemporaries,
and his successors. This book is an excellent access point for
students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about
Friedrich Nietzsche.
No doubt, the feminist movement has come a long way, even though
many of its aims have not been realized or, in fact, are still
debated by its supporters and critics. It is sobering
andinstructive to look back and examine the aspirations,
achievements and failures of women of earlier generations,
especially in the nineteenth century, on which subsequent
generations of women have built. Although Germany has produced some
famous and influential women writers and thinkers, no recent study
exists that analyzes their work in a systematic way. This book
fills the gap by discussing some of the major writers in the
nineteenth century, beginning with late-Romantic writers, such as
Bettina von Arnim and Johanna Schopenhauer, and goes on to discuss
writers who were active in the 1848 Revolution such as Malwida von
Meysenbug and Johanna Kinkel. With regard to the idea of
emancipation the attitudes of mainstream writers examined range
from lukewarm, such as the enormously popular Marie von
Ebner-Eschenbach and Gabriele Reuter, to downright hostile, such as
Lou Andreas-Salome and Franziska zu Reventlow. The heart of the
book is devoted to the leading proponents of emancipation,
HedwigDohm, Helene Boehlau, and the prolific Louise Otto-Peters.

Few philosophers have been as popular, prolific, and controversial

philosophy but on all the arts. Whether it is his concept of the
ubermensch or his nihilistic view of the world, Nietzsche's
writings have aroused enormous interest, as well as anathema, in
scholars for centuries. The A to Z of Nietzscheanism helps bring
the many ideas and concepts developed by the 19th Century
philosopher together in one single volume reference. This is
accomplished through the use of a chronology, a glossary, a
bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries
on his major writings, his contemporaries, and his successors.

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

Daniel W. Conway, Adrian Del Caro, Carol Diethe, Michael Allen
Gillespie and Keegan F. Callanan, Laurence Lampert, Duncan Large,

political thought and ethics.
