UNPUBLISHED WRITINGS FROM THE PERIOD OF UNFASHIONABLE OBSERVATIONS

This is the third volume to appear in an edition that will be the first complete, critical, and annotated English translation of all of Nietzsche s work. Volume 2: Unfashionable Observations, translated by Richard T. Gray, was published in 1995; Volume 3: Human, All Too Human (I), translated by Gary Handwerk, was published in 1997. The edition is a new English translation, by various hands, of the celebrated Colli-Montinari edition, which has been acclaimed as one of the most important works of scholarship in the humanities in the last half century. The present volume provides for the first time English translations of all of Nietzsche s unpublished notebooks from the summer of 1872 to the end of 1874. The major works published in this period were the first three Unfashionable Observations: David Strauss the Confessor and the Writer, On the Utility and Liability of History for Life, and Schopenhauer as Educator. Translations of the preliminary notes for these pieces are coordinated with the translations of the published texts printed in Volume 2: Unfashionable Observations.
