SynopsisRepresents a selection from Nietzche's notebooks to find out what he wrote on nihilism, art, morality, religion, and the theory of knowledge, among others. Nietzsche's notebooks, kept by him during his most productive years, offer a fascinating glimpse into the workshop and mind of a great thinker, and compare favorably with the notebooks of Gide and Kafka, Camus and Wittgenstein. The Will to Power , compiled from the notebooks, is one of the most famous boooks of the philosophy. Here is the first critical edition in any language. Down through the Nazi period The Will to Power was often mistakenly considered to be Nietzche's crowning systematic labor; since World War II it has frequently been denigrated. In fact, it represents a stunning selection from Nietzsche's notebooks, in a a topical arrangement that enables the reader to find what Nietzsche's wrote on a variety of subjects. Walter Kaufmann, in collaboration with R. J. Holilngdale, brings to this volume his unsurpassed skills as a Nietzsche translator and scholar. Professor Kaufmann has included an approximate date of each note. His running footnote commentary offers information needed to follow Nietzsche's train of thought, and indicates, among other things, which notes were eventually superseded by later formulations. The comprehensive index serves to guide the reader to the extraordinary riches of this book., Represents a selection from Nietzche's notebooks to find out what he wrote on nihilism, art, morality, religion, and the theory of knowledge, among others.

  • Get this book, if what you want is to familiarize yourself with such a good review of Nietzsche's insight into the inner workings of the mind.

    This volume of the Titan Existentialist, Nietzsche, should be viewed as the climactic summary of his core ideals, surpassing somewhat Ecce Homo. In it, we come to understand what constitutes us, as human beings, concerning our domineering drive that we seek to expand, in light of the Newtonian notion of all only being forced heaped upon itself, again and again. This is the distinction between teleological evolution and its biological counterpart. That is to say, the construction of one's psyche.

  • very good = acceptable

    Book was listed as “Very good”, however, the book is in terrible condition. There’s literally a chunk of the front cover that was torn off and glued back on??
