Description
Book 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.
