Selected Letters of Friedrich Nietzsche2 reviews
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, Christopher Middleton

Hackett Pub Co Inc, 1996

What a strange but brilliant fellow...

+ Interesting reading

This book is real fun to have, and shows a side of Nietzsche that is hard to come across in his formal works and the countless biographies. You can read first-hand the conflicts with his sister's anti-semitic husband, read his own giddyness about finishing a new book, and follow his decline into a ...

The Pre-Platonic Philosophers (International Nietzsche Studies (INS))4 reviews
Friedrich Nietzsche

University of Illinois Press, 2006

A milestone in Nietzsche scholarship

+ briefly
+ Could you worship this like an indefinite God?

This book is remarkable on several levels. As a work of scholarship, it is an awesome achievement, considering that Greg Whitlock was able to produce a coherent text of Nietzche's lecture notes, and performed the most helpful task of looking up every citation, confirming its source, and providing ...
  
  











  



  
Poetry & Prose2 reviews
Heinrich Heine

Continuum International Publishing Group, 1998

The last romantic

+ One of the greatest German poets in a nice edition

Heinrich Heine is one of the most lovable writers in European literature. A German of Jewish origin who lived from 1797 to 1856, he regarded himself as the last romantic writer. That shows in his poetry: Very often they begin like usual romantic poems, describing a woman watching the sunset by the ...

Nietzsche and Morality

Oxford University Press, USA, 2007

Nietzsche was surprisingly neglected by most English-language moral philosophers until recently. This volume capitalizes on a growth of interest in Nietzsche's work on morality from two sides -- from scholars of the history of philosophy and from contributors to current debates on ethical theory. In eleven new essays, leading philosophers aim both to advance philosophical understanding of ...

St. Augustine's Press, 2005

Prefaces to Unwritten Works is a collection of five essays, prefaces to books that Nietzsche never went on to write. Nietzsche himself put these prefaces together in the form of a small leather-bound, handwritten book, and gave that book to Cosima Wagner as a Christmas present in 1872. The dedicatory letter indicates that Nietzsche sent this little book to Cosima "in heartfelt reverence and as an ...

Friedrich Nietzsche

Cambridge University Press, 2003

Leaves out comments about women, Germans

+ Nietzsche's Immoral Psychology

Modern readers are so picky in what they are willing to read that it is amazing so much has been picked from Nietzsche's late notebooks for our consideration. I even found something that I thought was good because it conforms entirely with my own way of thinking, when I am not thinking about women ...

Richard Schacht

Routledge, 1985

Excellent overview and commentary

I found this book to be an excellent overview and commentary on Nietzsche's thinking, ranking only behind Kaufmann's book on Nietzsche.
