The Birth of Tragedy; Untimely Meditations I–IV

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

This volume of the complete edition of works by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844–1900) partly reproduces the first volume of the Critical Research Edition (KSA) by eminent German philosopher in 15 volumes, first published in 1980 and based on Giorgio Colli and Mazzino Montinari’s Critical Complete Edition, which was published by Walter de Gruyter Publishing House in 1967 and later. Th is volume contains his early works, The Birth of Tragedy and four Untimely Meditations: David Strauss, the Confessor and the Writer; On the Advantage and Disadvantage of History for Life; Schopenhauer as Educator, and Richard Wagner in Bayreuth. Here attentive readers have the opportunity to hear the main — tragic — tone of the philosopher’s work, which would prevent them from getting lost in the maze of his seemingly chaotic thinking.
