Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche Libri

The Gay Science (German: Die fröhliche Wissenschaft ) or occasionally translated as The Joyful Wisdom is a book by Friedrich Nietzsche, first published in 1882 and followed by a second edition, which was published after the completion of Thus Spoke Zarathustra and Beyond Good and Evil , in 1887. This substantial expansion includes a fifth book and an appendix of songs. It was noted by Nietzsche to be "the most personal of all [his] books", and contains the greatest number of poems in any of his published works.

«Eticità non è nient’altro (e quindi niente più!) che obbedienza ai costumi, di qualunque tipo possano essere; i costumi però sono il modo tradizionale di agire e di valutare. [...] L’uomo libero è privo di etica, perché in tutto vuol dipendere da sé e non da una tradizione». Da questa contrapposizione tra individualità e socialità prendono le mosse 575 pensieri sulla morale, sull’azione dell’uomo e sulla libertà e l’autodeterminazione del singolo. Pubblicata nel 1881, dunque dopo Umano troppo umano e prima di La gaia scienza, Aurora è un’opera composta da aforismi ora articolati e complessi, ora di fulminante e incisiva brevità. «Non esiste alcuna morale unicamente moralizzatrice e ogni eticità, affermando esclusivamente se stessa, uccide troppe forze buone e viene a costare troppo cara all’umanità.» Friedrich Nietzsche

Raccolta di lettere di Nietzsche, in parte inedite, quest'opera offre una prospettiva eccezionale e originale sull'infanzia imperiosa, la giovinezza esaltata, l'adulto conquistatore e soprattutto il genio appassionato e sofferente che egli fu. Attraverso le lettere, si scopre la potenza sottostante alle sue idee, le sfide che si impone e che impone alla filosofia occidentale, ma anche, e forse soprattutto, il suo estremo isolamento che al contempo rivendica e deplora. Dietro una pensiero che si afferma, si assiste al naufragio di un uomo, impotente e infelice. Le sue lettere a Wagner, di cui sarà ammiratore e poi disprezzatore, e quelle a Lou von Salomé, una delle rare persone che riconobbe come interlocutore intellettualmente valido, sono toccanti. Leggendole, si colgono i vortici di cui fu preda, prima di perdere definitivamente l'equilibrio...

Composta da Nietzsche nell’estate del 1887 e pubblicata agli inizi dell’inverno di quello stesso anno, la Genealogia della morale nacque come «scritto polemico», presentandosi all’insegna di una consapevole provocazione. Alcune delle più controverse teorie sociali di Nietzsche, come per esempio la contrapposizione fra morale dei signori e morale del gregge, vengono ampiamente esposte e argomentate in queste pagine. Ma ogni riferimento sociale rimarrebbe opaco se non lo si connettesse al suo presupposto metafisico: l’indagine sull’«origine dei nostri pregiudizi morali» presuppone l’interrogativo sull’« origine del male», a cui Nietzsche dichiara di essersi dedicato sin dal suo «primo giuoco d’infanzia letterario»: «a quel tempo, ebbene, com’è logico, resi l’onore a Dio e feci di lui il padre del male». Nietzsche sapeva benissimo che questo suo scritto sarebbe suonato «urtante all’orecchio». Ma sapeva anche che, nella sua epoca come nella nostra, questo è inevitabile per ogni ricerca che metta radicalmente in questione la bontà dei buoni sentimenti e si offra quale amaro antidoto alle perorazioni di coloro che «a quel che pretendono non danno il nome di rivalsa, bensì di ‘trionfo della giustizia’». In quanto tale, con tutte le sue contraddizioni e dolorose tensioni, la Genealogia della morale rimane un saggio prezioso.

"Dedicato alla memoria di Voltaire nell'anniversario della sua morte avvenuta il 30 maggio 1778" volle scrivere Nietzsche sul frontespizio della prima edizione di Umano, troppo umano, quasi a sottolineare il carattere "illuministico" di questa sua opera. Scritto tra il 1876 e il 1879, il libro, nella sua forma definitiva, comprende due volumi, nel secondo dei quali Nietzsche raccolse Opinioni e detti diversi e II viandante e la sua ombra, già pubblicati separatamente. Circola in quest'opera, che rifiuta la tentazione metafisica e le sue cristallizzazioni dogmatiche di un conoscere separato dalla vita, una sorta di sottile e spregiudicata ebbrezza intellettuale che cattura il lettore per la ritmica felicità espressiva, perfettamente aderente al gusto della conquista interiore.

Gli idoli sono le vecchie verità cui gli uomini hanno creduto sinora. Socrate,per N. ha corrotto l'anima greca col veleno della "ragionevolezza a tutti icosti". Affronta poi il problema della trascendenza. Riprende anche un temafavorito, la "morale come contro-natura". Successivamente designa gli erroriche hanno traviato gli uomini: la confusione tra causa e effetto, il concettodella causalità, il ricorso a cause immaginarie per spiegare le azioni e infine il concetto del libero arbitrio. Nelle notazioni sulla "psicologia dell'artista" N. esalta l'arte come stimolatrice della vita e vede l'"ebrezza"come condizione preliminare di ogni creazione artistica. Predica infine ilritorno alla natura come "amor fati".

Avremo compiuto un grande passo nella scienza estetica quando arriveremo non solo all'induzione logica, ma anche alla certezza immediata di questa idea: che l'evoluzione progressiva dell'arte è il risultato del doppio carattere dello spirito apollineo e dello spirito dionisiaco, proprio come la dualità dei sessi genera la vita attraverso lotte perpetue e avvicinamenti solo periodici. Questi nomi sono presi dai Greci, che hanno reso comprensibile al pensatore il significato occulto e profondo della loro concezione dell'arte, non tramite nozioni, ma attraverso figure nettamente significative del mondo delle loro divinità. È alle loro due divinità delle arti, Apollo e Dioniso, che si ricollega la nostra coscienza dell'incredibile antagonismo, sia di origine che di fini, che esisteva nel mondo greco tra l'arte plastica apollinea e l'arte priva di forme, la musica, l'arte di Dioniso.

Un antico profeta persiano, che aveva visto nella lotta tra il Bene e il Male l'asse attorno a cui ruotano le umane vicende, torna in un mondo moralmente lacerato per porre riparo al suo fatale errore. Zarathustra diventa così profeta della saggezza dionisiaca, che è gioiosa accettazione della vita in ogni suo aspetto, e affronta una difficile esperienza tra gli uomini, deciso a redimerli e soprattutto a liberarli dalla morale cristiana. In un crescendo di prediche dissacratorie e parabole alla rovescia, di eccessi e furori, l'azione tragica giunge al suo culmine nell' incontro tra il protagonista e gli uomini superiori, patetiche figure di sofferenti che simboleggiano un'umanità inadeguata a comprendere la dottrina di Zarathustra e i suoi dirompenti contenuti, dalla morte di dio, al superuomo, all'eterno ritorno di tutte le cose. E nell'attesa fiduciosa di un'umanità migliore si chiude l'opera in cui Nietzsche ha più profondamente fuso saggezza filosofica e illuminazione poetica.

Incubo e idolo dell’età moderna, la storia – come storicismo e senso storico – non è solo una conquista dello spirito illuminato, ma una «febbre divorante», una «virtù ipertrofica» che può essere rovinosa: questo il punto di partenza di Nietzsche non ancora trentenne nell’affrontare il tema della seconda Considerazione inattuale, che fu pubblicata nel 1874. Più di cento anni sono passati da allora e l’attualità clamorosa di questo Nietzsche perennemente «inattuale» appare sempre più evidente. Le pagine che qui leggiamo hanno trovato e trovano conferme continue, non più soltanto negli atteggiamenti della cultura, ma in tutti i meccanismi della società. Il passato, ormai disponibile in tutte le sue forme, anche le più remote, minuziosamente archiviato e setacciato, non è per ciò divenuto più vivo né aiuta la vita – anzi appare sempre più come una immane e oppressiva allucinazione. E così è, argomenta Nietzsche, proprio perché il senso storico non permette lo scontro bruciante con le forze del passato, ma vuole inglobarle in sé come reliquia esotica, con ingiustificato sottinteso di benevola superiorità – e quindi cela un movimento ostile alla vita, tende a svellere la sua stessa base, che è quella «cosa sola per cui la felicità diventa felicità: il poter dimenticare o, con espressione più dotta, la capacità di sentire, mentre essa dura, in modo non storico ».

"Ecce homo" é la grande biografia di Federico Nietzsche, il testo con cui egli si presenta una volta per tutte al suo popolo di lettori: nell'inoltrarsi dell'autunno del 1888, egli decide di dar vita in una sola settimana al libro conclusivo della sua opera, con cui fornisce una spiegazione anche degli altri testi.

Con la sua straordinaria potenza espressiva e un'eccezionale acutezza di pensiero, gli aforismi di Nietzsche chiariscono ancora oggi quanto il pensiero debba essere libero per rimanere vitale. Questa selezione presenta i pensieri più incisivi del grande filosofo su vari ambiti, tra cui amore e amicizia, scienza e filosofia, fede e religione.

Le opere che, in sequenza incalzante, Nietzsche riuscì a scrivere in pochi mesi del 1888, prima di sprofondare nella follia, si presentano innanzitutto come una sorta di fulminea chiusura dei conti: con Wagner e la musica (II caso Wagner), con la filosofia (Crepuscolo degli idoli), con se stesso (Ecce homo). All'Anticristo, infine, spetta la funzione di chiudere i conti con il cristianesimo, oggetto sempre più ossessivo delle analisi e degli attacchi dell'ultimo Nietzsche. Il tono è ultimativo, da manifesto, preludio a un'" azione" che doveva essere un attacco radicale a tutta la nostra civiltà. Ma, al tempo stesso, Nietzsche si mostra qui ancora una volta di una sottigliezza psicologica (nel suo senso) prodigiosa, come dimostrano le parole bellissime, e profondamente amiche, sulla figura di Cristo. Mentre la condanna del cristianesimo e della morale convogliano in sé quella, più generale, contro tutte le forze nemiche della vita e capaci di camuffarsi dietro le potenze della religione e della cultura. Contro di esse Nietzsche scende definitivamente in guerra in queste pagine devastatrici, giungendo a siglare, alla fine, la sua "legge contro il cristianesimo" col nome terribile dell'Anticristo, in quanto "trasvalutatore di tutti i valori".

Translated from Friedrich Nietzsche, S'amtliche Werke: Kritische Studienausgabe, ed. Giorgio Colli and Mazzino Montinari, in 15 vols. This book corresponds to Vol. 5.

This 6th volume in the acclaimed series The Complete Works of Friedrich Nietzsche presents a new translation of one of the philosopher's most familiar and beloved works, The Joyful Science, and the first English translations of the Idylls from Messina and his unpublished notebooks of 1881-1882.

Friedrich Nietzsche's exploration of moral philosophy delves into the origins of moral prejudices through a preface and three essays. He examines the historical conflict between socio-economic classes, the institution of punishment as a creditor-debtor relationship, and the significance of ascetic ideals. Written in response to Paul Rée's work, this 1887 publication expands on Nietzsche's earlier ideas from "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" and "Beyond Good and Evil." The edition features a translation by Horace B. Samuel and an introduction by Willard Huntington Wright.

Friedrich Nietzsche's influential work, originally published in 1910, delves into profound philosophical concepts. It is essential reading for philosophy enthusiasts, offering insights into Nietzsche's thoughts on power and existence. This edition is part of a series that aims to make classic literature more accessible, featuring high-quality reproductions of the original text and artwork, while preserving the integrity of the author's vision.

Originally published as separate volumes as Mixed Opinions and Maxims (1879) and The Wanderer and His Shadow (1880), the two works included here continue the aphoristic style begun in Volume I of Nietzsche's Book for Free Spirits and offer a window into the intellectual sources behind his evolution as a philosopher.

Philosophy and Truth offers the first English translation of six unpublished theoretical studies (sometimes referred to as Nietzsche's "Philosopher's Book") written just after the publication of The Birth of Tragedy and simultaneously with Untimely Meditations. In addition to the texts themselves, which probe epistemological problems on philosophy's relation to art and culture, this book contains a lengthy introduction that provides the biographical and philological information necessary for understanding these often fragmentary texts. The introduction also includes a helpful discussion of Nietzsche's early views concerning culture, knowledge, philosophy, and the Greeks.

Exploring themes of tragedy, Nietzsche's first book delves into the nature of art and existence, reflecting ideas that would later influence existentialism and psychoanalysis. In contrast, his later work, The Anti-Christ, critiques the concept of an evil leader opposing God and His church, presenting a provocative examination of morality and religion. Together, these works showcase Nietzsche's profound impact on philosophical thought, addressing the complexities of human experience and belief.

Nietzsche's remarkable collection of aphorisms, presented with a new introduction by Richard Schacht.

One of the most iconoclastic philosophers of all time, the author dramatically rejected notions of good and evil, truth and God. With wit and subversive energy, he demands that the individual impose their own 'will to power' upon the world. This book demonstrates that the world is steeped in false piety and infected with a 'slave morality'.

The works of Friedrich Nietzsche have fascinated readers around the world ever since the publication of his first book more than a hundred years ago. As Walter Kaufmann, one of the world's leading authorities on Nietzsche, notes in his introduction, "Few writers in any age were so full of ideas," and few writers have been so consistently misinterpreted. The Portable Nietzsche includes Kaufmann's definitive translations of the complete and unabridged texts of Nietzsche's four major works: Twilight of the Idols, The Antichrist, Nietzsche Contra Wagner and Thus Spoke Zarathustra. In addition, Kaufmann brings together selections from his other books, notes, and letters, to give a full picture of Nietzsche's development, versatility, and inexhaustibly. "In this volume, one may very conveniently have a rich review of one of the most sensitive, passionate, and misunderstood writers in Western, or any, literature." -Newsweek

The Birth of Tragedy (1872) was Nietzsche's 1st book. Its youthful faults were exposed by him in the brilliant 'Attempt at a Self-Criticism' which he added to the new edition of 1886. But the book, whatever its excesses, remains one of the most relevant statements on tragedy ever penned. It exploded the conception of Greek culture that was prevalent down thru the Victorian era. It sounded themes developed in the 20th century by classicists, existentialists, psychoanalysts & others. The Case of Wagner (1888) was one his last books & his wittiest. In attitude & style it's diametrically opposed to The Birth of Tragedy. Both works transcend their ostensible subjects & deal with art & culture, as well as the problems of the modern age generally. Each book in itself gives us an inadequate idea of its author; together, they furnish a striking image of Nietzsche's thought. The distinguished new translations by Walter Kaufmann superbly reflect in English Nietzsche's idiom & the vitality of his style. Kaufmann has also furnished running footnote commentaries, relevant passages from Nietzsche's correspondence, a bibliography, &, for the 1st time in any edition, an extensive index to each book.

Focusing on the significance of aesthetic experience, this work highlights Nietzsche's early exploration of themes that would define his philosophy, such as the role of the body and physiological drives. Delivered in 1870, it emphasizes music's centrality in Greek tragedy and showcases Nietzsche's developing genealogical approach and anti-humanist aesthetics. This presentation marks a pivotal moment in understanding the evolution of his thought and its cultural implications.

A new translation and edition of one of the seminal philosophical works of the modern period.

Introduction by Peter Gay Translated and edited by Walter Kaufmann Commentary by Martin Heidegger, Albert Camus, and Gilles Deleuze One hundred years after his death, Friedrich Nietzsche remains the most influential philosopher of the modern era. Basic Writings of Nietzsche gathers the complete texts of five of Nietzsche’s most important works, from his first book to his last: The Birth of Tragedy, Beyond Good and Evil, On the Genealogy of Morals, The Case of Wagner, and Ecce Homo. Edited and translated by the great Nietzsche scholar Walter Kaufmann, this volume also features seventy-five aphorisms, selections from Nietzsche’s correspondence, and variants from drafts for Ecce Homo. It is a definitive guide to the full range of Nietzsche’s thought. Includes a Modern Library Reading Group Guide

Human, All Too Human (1878) marks the point where Nietzsche abandons German romanticism for the French Enlightenment. The result is one of the cornerstones of his life's work. Beyond Good and Evil (1886) is a scathing and powerful critique of philosophy, religion and science.

Skillful, sophisticated translations of two of Nietzsche's essential works about the conflict between the moral and aesthetic approaches to life, the impact of Christianity on human values, the meaning of science, the contrast between the Apollonian and Dionysian spirits, and other themes central to his thinking.The Birth of Tragedy (1872) was Nietzsche's first book, The Geneology of Morals   (1887) one of his last.  Though they span the career of this controversial genius, both address the problems such as the conflict between the moral versus aesthetic approaches to life, the effect of Christianity on human values, the meaning of science, and the famous dichotomy between the Apollonian and Dionysian spirits, among many themes which Nietzsche struggled throughout his tortured life.

Includes three works, all dating from Nietzsche's last lucid months, that aim show him at his most stimulating and controversial: the portentous utterances of the prophet (together with the ill-defined figure of the Ubermensch) are forsaken, as wit, exuberance and dazzling insights predominate.

New to Penguin Classics, The Will to Power contains some of Nietzsche's most fascinating and combative writings on nihilism, metaphysics and the future of Europe. Assembled by Nietzsche's sister after his death, The Will to Power is a collection of the philosopher's reflections and theories taken from his unpublished notebooks. Covering topics such as nihilism, Christianity, morality, and the famous will to power, the book was controversially presented as Nietzsche's all-but-completed magnum opus containing his philosophical system. Including some of his most interesting metaphysical and epistemological thoughts, as well as some of his most disturbing ethical and political comments, the book would prove to have a significant influence on Nietzsche's contentious reception in the twentieth century. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

The literary career of Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) spanned less than twenty years, but no area of intellectual inquiry was left untouched by his iconoclastic genius. The philosopher who announced the death of God in The Gay Science (1882) and went on to challenge the Christian code of morality in Beyond Good and Evil (1886), grappled with the fundamental issues of the human condition in his own intense autobiography, Ecce Homo (1888). Most notorious of all, perhaps, his idea of the triumphantly transgressive übermann ('superman') is developed in the extreme, yet poetic words of Thus Spake Zarathustra (1883-92). Whether addressing conventional Western philosophy or breaking new ground, Nietzsche vastly extended the boundaries of nineteenth-century thought.

This book has been considered by academicians and scholars of great significance and value to literature. This forms a part of the knowledge base for future generations. We have represented this book in the same form as it was first published. Hence any marks seen are left intentionally to preserve its true nature.

In 1888, the last sane year of his life Nietzsche produced these two brief but devastating books. Twilight of the Idols, 'a grand declaration of war' on all the prevalent ideas of his time, offers a lightning tour of his whole philosophy. It also prepares the way for The Anti-Christ, a final assault on institutional Christianity. Yet although Nietzsche makes a compelling case for the 'Dionysian' artist and celebrates magnificently two of his great heroes, Goethe and Cesare Borgia, he also gives a moving, almost ecstatic portrait of his only worthy opponent: Christ. Both works show Nietsche lashing out at self-deception, astounded at how often morality is based on vengefulness and resentment. Both combine utterly unfair attacks on individuals with amazingly acute surveys of the whole contemporary cultural scene. Both reveal a profound understanding of human mean-spiritedness which still cannot destroy the underlying optimism of Nietzsche, the supreme affirmer among the great philosophers.

Newly translated and edited by Taylor Carman, On Truth and Untruth charts Nietzsche’s evolving thinking on truth, which has exerted a powerful influence over modern and contemporary thought. This original collection features the complete text of the celebrated early essay “On Truth and Lie in a Nonmoral Sense” (“a keystone in Nietzsche’s thought” —Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy), as well as selections from the great philosopher’s entire career, including key passages from The Gay Science, Beyond Good and Evil, On the Genealogy of Morals, The Will to Power, Twilight of the Idols, and The Antichrist.

Grounded in his famous notion that "God is dead," a selection from Nietzsche's most personal book, The Joyous ScienceNietzsche's devastating demolition of religion would have seismic consequences for future generations. With God dead, he envisages a brilliant future for one in which individuals would at last be responsible for their destinies.Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives--and upended them. Now Penguin brings you a new set of the acclaimed Great Ideas, a curated library of selections from the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.

Friedrich Nietzsche was one of the most revolutionary thinkers in Western philosophy. Here he sets out his subversive views in a series of aphorisms on subjects ranging from art to arrogance, boredom to passion, science to vanity, rejecting conventional notions of morality to celebrate the individual's 'will to power'.

The iconoclastic German philosopher's blazing maxims on revenge, false pity and the drawbacks of marriage.

"Self-celebrating and self-mocking autobiographical writings fromaEcce Homo, the last work iconoclastic German philosopher Nietzsche wrote before his descent into madness. "

Friedrich Nietzsche's "The Birth of Tragedy" explores the interplay between reason and emotion through the lens of ancient Greek drama, highlighting the dichotomy of the Dionysian and Apollonian traditions. Celebrating the works of Aeschylus and Sophocles, Nietzsche presents a life-affirming philosophy amidst a seemingly tragic world. Initially met with criticism, he later acknowledged its youthful naiveté in a prefatory essay for the 1886 reissue. This edition features premium acid-free paper and follows William A. Haussmann's translation.

Exploring the relationship between opinions and life, the text argues that even false opinions can be essential for human existence. It suggests that life may depend on the acceptance of logical fictions and the imaginative constructs of an absolute reality. By asserting that renouncing falsehoods equates to rejecting life itself, the work challenges traditional values and moral concepts. This provocative philosophy positions itself outside conventional notions of good and evil, advocating for a deeper understanding of truth and its role in human survival.

Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophical novel explores the fictional journey and teachings of Zarathustra, a reinterpretation of the Persian prophet Zoroaster. The narrative challenges traditional morality and introduces key concepts such as the Übermensch, eternal recurrence, and the will to power. Nietzsche employs an experimental style to convey his moral philosophy, which he further develops in later works. This edition features a translation by Thomas Common, along with introductions and notes that enhance the reader's understanding of Nietzsche's provocative ideas.

The book presents three interconnected treatises that explore the development of moral concepts, aiming to challenge prevailing moral prejudices, particularly those rooted in Christianity and Judaism. Through a critical examination of historical episodes, it offers insights into the evolution of ethics and invites readers to reconsider established moral beliefs.

Friedrich Nietzsche's most accessible and influential philosophical work, misquoted, misrepresented, brilliantly original and enormously influential Nietzsche was one of the most revolutionary and subversive thinkers in Western philosophy, and Thus Spoke Zarathustra remains his most famous and influential work. It describes how the ancient Persian prophet Zarathustra descends from his solitude in the mountains to tell the world that God is dead and that the Superman, the human embodiment of divinity, is his successor. Nietzsche's utterance 'God is dead', his insistence that the meaning of life is to be found in purely human terms, and his doctrine of the Superman and the will to power were all later seized upon and unrecognisably twisted by, among others, Nazi intellectuals. With blazing intensity and poetic brilliance, Nietzsche argues that the meaning of existence is not to be found in religious pieties or meek submission to authority, but in an all-powerful life force: passionate, chaotic and free.

The four essays that constitute 'Untimely Meditations’ are key works for understanding the development of Nietzsche's thought and clearly anticipate many of his later writings. Nietzsche here began to discuss the limitations of empirical knowledge, and presented what would appear compressed in later aphorisms. The essays deal with such broad topics as the relationship between popular and genuine culture, strategies for cultural reform, the task of philosophy, the nature of education, and the relationship among art, science and life. These early writings by Nietzsche display much of the promise which was to unfurl later in the philosopher's life.Regarded as one of the most profound German philosophers, Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) is popularly considered a cultural critic and philologist whose work exerted a scholarly influence on modern intellectual history. His intellectual works focus on widespread themes such as religion, morality, philosophy, and science. Prominent elements of his philosophy include his radical critique of truth, a genealogical criticism of religion, and Christian morality. His body of work touched a wide range of topics, including art, philology, history, music, tragedy, and culture, most of which drew inspiration from Greek tragedy.

This unique anthology brings together material from 38 well-known writers, artists, and scientists who attempt to describe the process by which original ideas come to them. Contributors include Albert Einstein, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Amy Lowell, Rudyard Kipling, Max Ernst, Katherine Anne Porter, Henry Miller, Carl Gustav Jung, Mary Wigman, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Henri Poincaré and many others.

Exploring a range of topics such as nihilism, religion, morality, knowledge theory, and art, this collection presents Friedrich Nietzsche's unedited and unpublished writings, compiled by his sister after his death. Created during a time of poor health, these notes reflect both his completed thoughts and the evolution of his ideas. Offering insight into the mind of one of the nineteenth century's most influential philosophers, this work serves as a unique glimpse into Nietzsche's intellectual journey.

Kniha Lidské, příliš lidské, kterou Friedrich Nietzsche při závěrečném zhodnocení své tvorby v Ecce homo nazval „pomníkem krize“, je jeho prvním rozsáhlým dílem napsaným formou „aforismů“, jež autor zkomponoval do tematických skupin. Postavou „svobodného ducha“ a filosofickým zájmem o bezpředsudečné poznání „nejbližších věcí“ se zde Nietzsche definitivně odpoutává od svých vzorů, A. Schopenhauera a R. Wagnera, a obrací se proti dosavadní metafyzické tradici. Nevystupuje jen jako pokračovatel osvícenské kritiky náboženských a morálních představ,ale i jako pronikavý psycholog. Třebaže bylo toto dílo poněkud stranou zájmu velkých filosofických interpretací, představuje nesporně rozhodující obrat na Nietzschově cestě k vlastní filosofické pozici, a právě proto umožňuje lépe porozumět složitému vývoji jeho myšlení. Nové opravené vydání obou dílů v jednom svazku.

Filozofie Friedricha Nietzscheho přitahuje stejně jako jeho život pozornost poměrně široké skupiny skupiny těch, kterým „klasicky“ znějící filozofie mnoho neříká – Nietzsche, buřič s kladivem, kterým hrozí Bohu, je oblíbeným filozofem těch, kteří teprve hledají své místo ve společnosti, básnický styl jeho prací z něj pak dělá zároveň působivého literáta. Nečasové úvahy, z nichž je nejproslulejší zejména ta druhá, nazvaná O užitečnosti a škodlivosti historie pro život, v níž se Friedrich Nietzsche obrací proti nemírnému šíření historických poznatků, šíření, které hrozí zahubit skutečný život, vznikají v ranném období Nietzschovy tvorby mezi lety 1976–76 jako základ, který pak Nietzsche postupně rozvine ve svůj filozofický systém. Úvahou třetí, Schopenhauer jako učitel a čtvrtou Richard Wagner v Bayreuthu pak Friedrich Nietzsche oslavuje své duchovní učitele, Schopenhauera a Wagnera, jako vychovatele k nové, zušlechtěné kultuře. Kniha je určena každému, kdo chce blíže poznat dílo Friedricha Nietzscheho. ...

Die 1980 erschienene "Kritische Studienausgabe" der Werke Friedrich Nietzsches revolutionierte die Nietzsche-Rezeption, indem sie erstmals den gesamten Nachlass ohne Fälschungen zugänglich machte. Die italienischen Forscher Colli und Montinari transkribierten die Manuskripte und trugen zur Zerschlagung von Nietzsche-Legenden bei.

Friedrich Nietzsche wurde am 15. Oktober 1844 in Röcken bei Lützen als Sohn eines Pastors geboren. Er studierte in Bonn und Leipzig zunächst Sprachwissenschaften und evangelische Theologie, seinen Abschluß machte er jedoch nur in klassischer Philologie. 1868 lernte er Richard Wagner kennen, der sein Denken neben Schopenhauer stark beeinflußte. Einige Jahre später zerbrach die Freundschaft über Nietzsches Geringschätzung der Bayreuther Festspiele. 1869 wurde er auf eine Professur für Altphilologie nach Basel berufen, die er aus gesundheitlichen Gründen zehn Jahre später wieder aufgab. Fortan lebte er von seiner Pension und finanzierte davon viele Reisen, u. a. in die Schweiz und nach Italien, auf denen seine wichtigsten philosophischen Werke entstanden. In seinen Hauptwerken sagte Nietzsche den Tod Gottes voraus, beschrieb den Übermenschen, trat für die Umwertung aller Werte ein und prägte somit den Nihilismus. Zu seinen bekanntesten Werken zählen Also sprach Zarathustra (1883) und Ecce Homo (1908). In den 1880er Jahren nahmen seine körperlichen und seelischen Leiden zu und gipfelten 1889 in einem Zusammenbruch, von dem er sich nicht mehr erholte. Bis zu seinem Tod am 25. August 1900 in Weimar wurde er von seiner Mutter und seiner Schwester gepflegt.

Zarathustra, inspiriert von einem persischen Religionsstifter des 6. Jahrhunderts v. Chr., bekämpft den Nihilismus, der aus der Erkenntnis 'Gott ist tot' hervorgeht. Er strebt danach, einen neuen Glauben zu etablieren: den Glauben an den 'Übermenschen'. Während schwache Menschen den Geboten des toten Gottes folgen, sucht der Übermensch sein Heil in der Erde, der Macht, Vitalität und Stärke, um der Welt einen neuen Sinn zu geben. Der Übermensch ist in der Lage, alte moralische Werte abzuschaffen und in völliger Freiheit das Lebensgefühl zu verbessern. Das Werk besteht hauptsächlich aus Zarathustras Reden. Um den nihilistischen Folgen des christlichen Denkens zu entfliehen, zieht sich Zarathustra mit 30 Jahren in eine Höhle zurück, wo er die Lehre vom Übermenschen entwickelt. Das Buch gliedert sich in vier Teile: In den ersten beiden verkündet Zarathustra die Lehre vom Übermenschen. Im dritten Teil formuliert er den zentralen Gedanken seiner Philosophie: 'Grund aller Dinge ist die ewige Wiederkehr des Gleichen mit ihrer Sinnlosigkeit.' Er widerspricht einem übergeordneten Sinn und erkennt den schöpferischen Willen der Menschen, der Götter und des Lebens. Im letzten Teil wird Zarathustra von Menschen um Hilfe gebeten, um die Verzweiflung nach dem Tod Gottes zu überwinden. Trotz anfänglichem Mitleid siegt sein Wissen um die Wiederkehr des Gleichen, wodurch er die christlichen Werte verwirft und dem Ideal des Übermenschen entsprich

Filozofie Friedricha Nietzscheho přitahuje stejně jako jeho život pozornost poměrně široké skupiny skupiny těch, kterým „klasicky“ znějící filozofie mnoho neříká – Nietzsche, buřič s kladivem, kterým hrozí Bohu, je oblíbeným filozofem těch, kteří teprve hledají své místo ve společnosti, básnický styl jeho prací z něj pak dělá zároveň působivého literáta. Nečasové úvahy, z nichž je nejproslulejší zejména ta druhá, nazvaná O užitečnosti a škodlivosti historie pro život, v níž se Friedrich Nietzsche obrací proti nemírnému šíření historických poznatků, šíření, které hrozí zahubit skutečný život, vznikají v ranném období Nietzschovy tvorby mezi lety 1976–76 jako základ, který pak Nietzsche postupně rozvine ve svůj filozofický systém. Úvahou třetí, Schopenhauer jako učitel a čtvrtou Richard Wagner v Bayreuthu pak Friedrich Nietzsche oslavuje své duchovní učitele, Schopenhauera a Wagnera, jako vychovatele k nové, zušlechtěné kultuře. Kniha je určena každému, kdo chce blíže poznat dílo Friedricha Nietzscheho.

In "Über Wahrheit und Lüge" untersucht Nietzsche die Entstehung der Sprache und deren Bedeutung für menschliche Erkenntnis. Diese überarbeitete kommentierte Ausgabe bietet eine präzise Wiedergabe des Textes, eine historische Einordnung, eine Analyse der Argumentationsstruktur sowie Informationen über den Autor und relevante Literatur.

À chaque phase de ce livre, la gravité et l'enjouement se donnent tendrement la main, comme le souligne Nietzsche dans le Gai Savoir, qui ouvre ce second volume de ses œuvres. Ce texte célèbre la "grande santé" de l'intellect, qui se moque des valeurs considérées comme "bonnes, intangibles, divines", en particulier la morale, perçue comme un refuge pour les rêveurs. Les thèmes de la compassion, de l'abnégation et de l'amour indifférencié du prochain sont ainsi remis en question. Ces idées, reprises de manière lyrique dans Ainsi parlait Zarathoustra, continueront d'occuper la pensée de Nietzsche jusqu'à ses derniers écrits, où il cherche à inverser toutes les valeurs. Ce volume reprend le texte révisé par Jacques Le Rider et Jean Lacoste, basé sur les premières traductions françaises de Nietzsche. Les textes sont accompagnés de notices et de notes adaptées de l'édition allemande des Oeuvres de Peter Pütz. Une préface de Philippe Raynaud situe Nietzsche dans la tradition philosophique, tandis qu'une postface de Georges Liébert examine ses relations passionnées avec la musique. Enfin, un index des noms et des notions, établi par Jacques Le Rider et Jean Lacoste, est inclus, étant le premier de ce type à paraître en France.

Der Titanendenker und Bürgerschreck als leichtfüßiger Spaßmacher? Der kleine Band von Ludger Lütkehaus zeigt diese eher vernachlässigte Seite des Philosophen: Dort versammeln sich Gedichte Nietzsches über seine Schreibmaschine ebenso wie Aphorismen und Weisheiten über Gott und die Welt neben allerhand Boshaftigkeiten, denn: „Bosheit ist selten. - Die meisten Menschen sind viel zu sehr mit sich beschäftigt, um boshaft zu sein“. Ein Buch für alle und jeden.

Unter dem von Nietzsche selbst notierten Titel für eine Sammlung seiner Gedankensplitter, stellt dieser Band Nietzsches Nachlaß von 1869 – 1889, der im Umfang den zu Lebzeiten des Philosophen veröffentlichten Werken nicht nachsteht, in den Mittelpunkt. Aus der ungeheuren Fülle der inzwischen text-kritisch edierten Eintragungen wurden jene unterstrichen und ausgewählt, die über einen Zeitraum von zwanzig Jahren hinweg Friedrich Nietzsche sowohl als den radikalsten Gesellschafts- und Kulturkritiker des bürgerlichen Zeitalters als auch den beklemmend aktuellen Prognostiker des 20. Jahrhunderts ausweisen. Das Ergebnis ist ein ebenso aufregendes wie anregendes Buch, das im unmittelbarsten Sinn des Wortes zu denken gibt.

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 – 1900) – významný nemecký filozof a jeden z najhlbších mysliteľov všetkých čias, kritik kultúry a náboženstva, básnik a esejista, predstaviteľ filozofie života a „otec nihilizmu“, zásadným spôsobom ovplyvnil filozofiu, myslenie a literatúru 20. storočia. Jeho často kontroverzné názory netvoria ucelený systém, preto umožňujú najrozličnejšie interpretácie. Výber z myšlienok F. Nietzscheho chce čitateľovi poskytnúť pohľad na základné myšlienkové okruhy a témy jeho filozofovania (o sebe, morálke, umení, náboženstve, človeku, vede, pravde, výchove, vôli k moci, nadčloveku a ďalších oblastiach ľudského bytia). Môže tak predstavovať nielen akýsi úvod do jeho diela, ale hlavne podnecovať k úvahám, prebúdzať k úvahám a novým pohľadom na modernú dobu, ktoré vyvoláva svojim hlbokým, ostrým a kritickým odhaľovaním často skrytých stránok života v dobe hlbokej krízy hodnôt a fungovania kultúry a civilizácie.

Band I.2 enthält Nietzsches Schriften aus den ersten vier Jahren, die er in Schulpforta verbrachte (Herbst 1858-Herbst 1862). Es enthält Essays, die er mehr oder weniger aus eigener Motivation verfasste, sowie persönliche Notizen (z. B. Tagebücher). Ein erheblicher Teil der hier präsentierten Texte sind bislang unveröffentlichte Schulübungen, und schließlich enthält der Band Nietzsches erhaltene Notizen, hauptsächlich zur (literarischen) Geschichte.
