Abstract

The volume under review brings together new translations of the young Nietzsche's four published Unzeitgemässe Betrachtungen and, from his contemporary literary leftovers, a portion commonly called "Wir Philologen," here translated, rightly enough, "We Classicists." The latter is an important gift to the English-speaking student of Nietzsche since it starts, as the only previous translation could not, with the leftovers as chronologically ordered by Georgio Colli and Mazzino Montinari; it is fully annotated, in some places beyond Colli/montinari; and it is introduced by Arrowsmith so as to highlight Nietzsche's struggle with the classicists.
