ISBN: 0804734038 ISBN-13: 9780804734035 Publisher: Stanford University Press OUR PRICE: $30.40 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: December 1998 Annotation: This new translation is the first to be published in a twenty-volume English-language edition of The Complete Works of Friedrich Nietzsche, the first complete, critical, and annotated translation of all of Nietzsche' s work. The Stanford edition is based on the Colli-Montinari edition, which has received universal praise: " It has revolutionized our understanding of one of the greatest German thinkers"; " Scholars can be confident for the first time of having a trustworthy text." Under the title Unzeitgema sse Betrachtungen, Nietzsche collected four essays published separately between 1873 and 1876: " David Strauss the Confessor and the Writer, " " On the Utility and Liability of History for Life, " " Schopenhauer as Educator, " and " Richard Wagner in Bayreuth." The title, newly translated as Unfashionable Observations, spells out the common impulse linking these essays: Nietzsche' s inimical attitude toward his " time, " understood broadly as all the mainstream and popular movements that constituted contemporary European, but especially German, " culture" in the wake of the Prussian military victory over the French in 1871. The Unfashionable Observations are foundational works for Nietzsche' s entire philosophy, prefiguring both his characteristic philosophical style and many of the major ideas he would develop in his later writings. This is the first English translation to include Nietzsche' s variants to the published text. |
