Fourth edition. <br /> <br />Volume two of the first collected edition of Nietzsches works presents the first volume of Human All Too Human first published in 1878 here in its fourth edition. <br /> <br />Human All Too Human also contains Nietzsches reflections upon cultural and psychological phenomena in reference to individuals' organic and physiological constitutions. The idea of power sporadically appears as an explanatory principle but Nietzsche tends at this time to invoke hedonistic considerations of pleasure and pain in his explanations of cultural and psychological phenomena. It is here too that Nietzsche's famous epistemological "perspectivism" is first broached: the view that "truths" are nothing more than interpretations of reality formed from different perspectives and more or less successful in their struggle against competing "truths." <br /> <br />CONDITION: Very good in original Naumann binding: half-leather with marbled boards.

Naumann 1895. 1 blank leaf with half-title on verso TP tissue guard and frontis-portrait 1 leaf = facsimile of handwritten note 1 leaf = inhalt TP = Geburt der Tragödie half-title 1 - 589 i - xxii. Octavo. Fourth and Third editions. <br /> <br />In the first collected edition of Nietzsches work his first two books combine to form the first volume: Birth of Tragedy originally published in 1872 revised in 1886 here in its fourth edition and Untimely Meditations originally published in four installments from 1874 - 1876 here in its third edition. <br /> <br />BIRTH OF TRAGEDY: Nietzsche argues that the tragedy of Ancient Greece was the highest form of art due to its mixture of both Apollonian and Dionysian elements into one seamless whole allowing the spectator to experience the full spectrum of the human condition. The Dionysian element was to be found in the music of the chorus while the Apollonian element was found in the dialogue which gave a concrete symbolism that balanced the Dionysiac revelry. Basically the Apollonian spirit was able to give form to the abstract Dionysian. <br /> <br />UNTIMELY MEDITATIONS 1 - 4: The first Untimely Meditation was David Strauss der Bekenner und der Schriftsteller David Strauss the Confessor and the Writer in which Nietzsche viciously attacked Strauss most recently published book Der alte und der neue Glaube The Old and the New Faith which advocated the rejection of the Christian faith in favor of a Darwinian materialistic and patriotic world-view. Nietzsche accuses Strauss of being a "Cultural Philistine" and denounces him as the exemplar par-excellence of pseudo-culture. The second book Vom Nutzen und Nachtheil Der Historie für das Leben The Use and Disadvantage of History for Life attacked the then current faith in historical research that was one of Nietzsche's major complaints with contemporary German culture and a topic to which he returned with some regularity in his later works. The third Untimely Meditation was entitled Schopenhauer als Erzieher Schopenhauer as Educator and it took up the topic of self-perfection and set up the philosopher Schopenhauer then one of Nietzsches philosophical heroes as a paradigm of self-direction. The last book in this series Richard Wagner in Bayreuth was released to coincide with the very first performance at the Bayreuth Festival in July of 1876. This is the last of Nietzsches works that mentions Wagner favorably and even here the picture presented of Wagner shows some signs of the troubles to come. In Nietzsches view the creation of Bayreuth was representative of The New Empire and had become one of the cultural centers. <br /> <br /> <br />CONDITION: Very good in original Naumann binding: half-leather with marbled boards.

A second sequel to Human All Too Human The Wanderer and his Shadow was published in the year following Nietzsches departure from academia. The title is perhaps autobiographical reflecting Nietzsche and his shadow heading off into the wilderness of the unknown. This third of Nietzsche's aphoristic volumes continues his appeal to the "free spirits" of Europe. <br /> <br />CONDITION: Very good in original Naumann binding: half-leather with marbled boards.

Second Edition of Nietzsches Twilight of the Idols in Original Printed Wraps <br /><br />NIETZSCHE Friedrich Götzen-Dämmerung Twilight of the Idols Naumann Leipzig 1893. Half title TP 1 leaf = Inhalt I-II = Vorwort 1-116. Second Edition Krummel XVIII a p. 120. <br /><br />Nietzsche began to write Twilight of the Idols at the end of June of 1888 and was finished by early Septemberanother lightning-quick production that he claimed to have been the "work of so few days that I am hesitant to mention exactly how many." His hesitancy becomes even more understandable when one remembers that part of July was devoted to the preparation of the final typescript of The Case of Wagner and that during August he produced two "Postscripts" and the "Epilogue" and then proofed the entire work. In the final analysiswhen the book was finally completedNietzsche bragged to Gast that "I could hardly have used ten days more efficiently for it certainly took me no longer to write the book." Yet another ten-day wonder! <br /><br />The new book was originally entitled A Psychologist at Leisure when Nietzsche mentioned it to Naumann on 7 September: <br /><br />I am about to give you a nice surprise. You probably think we are finished with printing but even now the cleanest manuscript I have ever sent to you is on its way. Regarding layout and design this new work should be a twin to The Case of Wagner. The title is A Psychologist at Leisure. It is imperative for me that we publish this now because by the end of next year we will have to begin the printing of my main work The Revaluation of All Values which will be a stern and serious book and I will not be able to publish anything cheerful and winsome right after it. <br /><br />This book though not very large may cause a few ears to be opened so that the main work will not be greeted with silence like my Zarathustra. <br /><br />The manuscript was mailed two days later and the single-page first draft for the Preface came three days after that. Nietzsche thought of this bookin conjunction with the Wagner bookas a light and brief respite before the publication of his masterwork: "In the final analysis both of these works are only recuperations in the midst of an immensely difficult and decisive task which when properly understood will split humanity in two." Unfortunately Nietzsche never recovered from these "recuperations" and The Revaluation of All Values was never completed <br /><br />Even as the book was being printed Peter Gast pleaded with Nietzsche to change the title: <br /><br />When I consider how other people will respond to this title I think A Psychologist at Leisure is much too unassuming. You have dragged your artillery to the highest mountains you have guns such as have never existed and even if you shoot blindly you will inspire terror all around. The stride of a Giant which can make the mountains shake to their core is hardly leisure . . . and so I pleadif an incompetent may make such a requestlet us have a more resplendent a more radiant title! <br /><br />Nietzsche immediately agreed and changed the title to Twilight of the Idols75 and three days later he penned the final version of the Preface which was dated 30 September 1888. <br />Schaberg The Nietzsche Canon pp. 166-167 <br /><br />CONDITION: Uncut copy in original wraps printed front and back as well as on the spine.

Unzeitgemässe Betrachtungen I: David Strauss Unconventional Observation I: David Strauss. Leipzig: E. W. Fritzsch 1873. TP 1-101 102 = advertisements Octavo. First Edition First Issue. Schaberg 23a <br /> <br />The first of Nietzsche's Unconventional Observations was an attack on David Strauss the writer who had made his reputation with his scandalous Life of Jesus in 1835. Here Nietzsche attacks his most recent book The Old and the New Faith which advocated the rejection of the Christian faith in favor of a Darwinian materialistic and patriotic world-view. Nietzsche accuses Strauss of being a "Cultural Philistine" and denounces him as an exemplar of pseudo-culture. Although erudite the essay is extremely intemperate and filled with references to many of Nietzsche's scholarly contemporaries. The climax is a literary tour de force in which Nietzsche cites a litany of malapropisms from Strauss interspersed with his own barbed comments. For Nietzsche Strauss's book was the incarnation of the Zeitgeist: unproductive smugness intellectual snobbery superficial assimilation of great works of art and new scientific theories myopic criticism and patronizing praise of even the greatest genius But what enraged him most was Strauss's comfortable and untroubled renunciation of Christianity coupled with an easy conviction that Darwin was one of mankind's greatest benefactors and that traditional values could of course be maintained. It is in the present work that Nietzsche first publicly addresses the problem of the derivation of moral values that would infuse so much of his most important work. <br /> <br />CONDITION: Very Good in recently rebound contemporary marbled paper over boards with new spine lettered in gilt. Internally bright and clean. A very good copy of one of Nietzsche s early works. <br/><br/> E. W. Fritzsch hardcover

First Bilingual German-Russian Edition of Nietzsches Zarathustra <br /><br />NIETZSCHE Friedrich Tak govoril Zaratustra / Also Sprach Zarathustra Bilingual edition in German and Russian M.M. Stasyulevicha Petersburg 1899. Blank leaf half-title TP 1 leaf = dedication vii - xiv = translators forward half title half-title 2 - 103 1 leaf = contents blank leaf octavo. First Russian-German Dual-Language. <br /><br />First edition of the second translation of Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Translated from German by S. Nani. Bilingual edition in both German and Russian of nine selected excerpts printed side-by-side: the Night-Song the Grave-Song the Academic Chairs of Virtue the Soothsayer the Three Metamorphoses Scholars the Way of the Creating One Reading and Writing and the Three Evil Things. <br /><br />Thus Spoke Zarathustra is one of Nietzsche's most famous works and Nietzsche regarded it as among his most significant. Thoroughly studied and re-studied by scholars throughout the 20th century the character of Zarathustra stands as a figure marking the end of Modernity by some i.e. Heidegger the beginning of Post-Modernity by others i.e. Derrida; the text a personal soteriological narrative of Nietzsches own self-overcoming and a parable for others towards the same transformation. Though Thus Spoke Zarathustra attempts to destroy and replace the Judeo-Christian world-view Nietzsches style borrows heavily from the Old and New Testament. Nietzsche also adopts myriad metaphors invoking animals earth air fire water celestial bodies plants all in the service of describing the spiritual transformation of Zarathustra a solitary reflective exceedingly strong-willed sage-like laughing and dancing voice of self-mastery who accompanied by a proud sharp-eyed eagle and a wise snake believed in a mode of being beyond the common human condition but without the need to posit a transcendent other world. Nietzsche refers to this higher mode of being as superhuman übermenschlich one that embraces the doctrine of eternal recurrence a doctrine for only the strongest who can love life in its entirety who embrace their suffering and would only again will it to be thus! <br /><br />The first translation of Zarathustra was done by Yu Antonovsky in 1898 just really a few months before this bilingual edition translated by Nani. With so much censorship in Russia any translation was really an art form creatively trying to communicate Nietzsches or any philosophers! ideas into a voice acceptable to the heightened sensitivities of the authorities under both Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II. Hence the incomplete translations of both Antonovsky in 1898 and Nani in 1899. <br /><br />CONDITION: Very good in original quarter leather with marbled boards. Light edgewear. Former owners name in ink to top edge of half-title page. Text block coming loose from front cover along inner hinge but holding along bottom. Rear hinge firm. One leaf xiii - xiv loose.

Unzeitgemässe Betrachtungen II: Vom Nutzen und Nachtheil Unconventional Observation II: The Use and Disadvantage of History for Life. E. W. Fritzsch Leipzig 1874. TP III-VI 7-111 Octavo. First Edition First Issue. Schaberg 25a. There were approximately 650 copies of the first edition in the first issue state. The second Unconventional Observation attacked the then current faith in historical research that was one of Nietzsche's major complaints with contemporary German culture and a topic to which he returned with some regularity in his later works. Contrary to prevailing opinion Nietzsche argued that historical knowledge is valuable only when it has a positive effect on human beings sense of life contending that history can play only three positive roles which he termed the "monumental" the "antiquarian" and "critical" explaining each of these in some detail before going on to enumerate the dangers of the current scholarly fascination with "history for its own sake." Finally Nietzsche suggests an antidote to the psychologically and ethically devastating effects of the conventional approaches to history proposing an amalgam of what he terms the historical the unhistorical and the suprahistorical attitudes as the healthiest approach to the integration of a historical sense into the life of the individual and of course for Nietzsche this always means the exceptional individual. As he remarks in the present essay tellingly for the understanding of the Nietzschean philosophy as a whole: The goal of humanity cannot lie in the end Ende but only in its highest specimens. In the words of Walter Kaufmann: Perhaps there is no more basic statement of Nietzsches philosophy in all of his writings than this sentence. CONDITION: ."

1872179413Leipzig: E. W. Fritzsch 1872. First edition of Rohde's contribution to the pamphlet war sparked by the publication of Nietzsche's Die Geburt der Tragödie aus dem Geiste der Musik. "The book caused a furor. Wagnerians embraced it while philologists were appalled. Among his colleagues only Nietzsche's friend Rohde was willing to praise the book in public and the first review he submitted to the Literarisches Centralblatt was rejected by the editors. A rewritten review was printed by the Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung on 26 May. Four days later the young Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Möllendorff attacked the book savagely in a thirty-two page pamphlet entitled Future-philology! Zukunftsphilologie! which sold out quickly. Wagner replied on 23 June defending Nietzsche in an open letter published in the Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung. Unfortunately Wagner's amateurish attempt at support did nothing more than confirm the worst fears of the scholarly forces lining up against Nietzsche. Rohde who was totally committed to the defence of his friend - although possibly against his better judgement at this point - counterattacked Wilamowitz-Möllendorff in a forty-eight page pamphlet entitled Pseudo-philology Afterphilologie which was published on 15 October. The final entry in this exchange occurred on 21 February 1873 when Wilamowitz-Möllendorff published his Future-philology! Part Two Zukunftsphilologie! Zweites Stück a twenty-four page rejoinder to both Rohde and Nietzsche" Schaberg. Octavo pp. 48. Recent stiff buff paper wrappers the original printed wrappers cut down and mounted.

1898886<p>Petersburg: New Journal of Foreign Literature 1898. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. First Russian Translation of Nietzsche <br /><br />NIETZSCHE Friedrich Tak govoril Zaratustra Also Sprach Zarathustra New Journal of Foreign Literature St Petersburg 1898. Blank leaf TP 3 - 5 = translators introduction 6 - 90 1 leaf = advertisements 1 blank leaf thin octavo. First Russian translation of Nietzsches Also Sprach Zarathustra translated by Yu Antonovsky. <br /><br />This is the very first translation of Zarathustra in Russian written by Yu Antonovsky in 1898 just really a few months before a second bilingual edition translated by Nani. With so much censorship in Russia any translation was really an art form creatively trying to communicate Nietzsches or any philosophers! ideas into a voice acceptable to the heightened sensitivities of the authorities under both Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II. Hence the incomplete translations of both Antonovsky in 1898 and Nani in 1899. This first Russian translation based on the 10th German edition comprises all but part IV. Perhaps there were contents of part IV that ruffled the feathers of the censors; perhaps Antonovsky actually relied upon the 1886 German edition which only included parts I - III as part IV was not published publicly in Germany until 1892. <br /><br />Thus Spoke Zarathustra is one of Nietzsche's most famous works and Nietzsche regarded it as among his most significant. Thoroughly studied and re-studied by scholars throughout the 20th century the character of Zarathustra stands as a figure marking the end of Modernity by some i.e. Heidegger the beginning of Post-Modernity by others i.e. Derrida; the text a personal soteriological narrative of Nietzsches own self-overcoming and a parable for others towards the same transformation. Though Thus Spoke Zarathustra attempts to destroy and replace the Judeo-Christian world-view Nietzsches style borrows heavily from the Old and New Testament. Nietzsche also adopts myriad metaphors invoking animals earth air fire water celestial bodies plants all in the service of describing the spiritual transformation of Zarathustra a solitary reflective exceedingly strong-willed sage-like laughing and dancing voice of self-mastery who accompanied by a proud sharp-eyed eagle and a wise snake believed in a mode of being beyond the common human condition but without the need to posit a transcendent other world. Nietzsche refers to this higher mode of being as superhuman übermenschlich one that embraces the doctrine of eternal recurrence a doctrine for only the strongest who can love life in its entirety who embrace their suffering and would only again will it to be thus! <br /><br />CONDITION: Very good in original quarter cloth with purple boards. Light edgewear. Pages 11 - 14 with small erasure mark that wore through the paper. A few scattered pencil marks otherwise an excellent well-preserved copy all in original condition. <br /><br /><br /></p> New Journal of Foreign Literature hardcover
