The diversity of Nietzsches books, and the sheer range of his philosophical interests, have posed daunting challenges to his interpreters. This Handbook addresses this multiplicity by devoting each of its 32 essays to a focused topic, picked out by the books systematic plan. The aim is to treat each topic at the best current level of philosophical scholarship on Nietzsche. The first group of papers treat selected biographical issues: his family relations, his relations to women, and his ill health and eventual insanity. In Part 2 the papers treat Nietzsche in historical context: his relations back to other philosophers--the Greeks, Kant, and Schopenhauer--and to the cultural movement of Romanticism, as well as his own later influence in an unlikely place, on analytic philosophy. The papers in Part 3 treat a variety of Nietzsches works, from early to late and in styles ranging from the aphoristic The Gay Science and Beyond Good and Evil through the poetic-mythic Thus Spoke Zarathustra to the florid autobiography Ecce Homo. This focus on individual works, their internal unity, and the way issues are handled within them, is an important complement to the final three groups of papers, which divide up Nietzsches philosophical thought topically. The papers in Part 4 treat issues in Nietzsches value theory, ranging from his metaethical views as to what values are, to his own values of freedom and the overman, to his insistence on order of rank, and his social-political views. The fifth group of papers treat Nietzsches epistemology and metaphysics, including such well-known ideas as his perspectivism, his promotion of becoming over being, and his thought of eternal recurrence. Finally, Part 6 treats another famous idea--the will to power--as well as two linked ideas that he uses will to power to explain, the drives, and life. This Handbook will be a key resource for all scholars and advanced students who work on Nietzsche.

List of Abbreviations

The following standard abbreviations are used throughout this volume. Note, while authors use these abbreviations they will be referring to specific editions and possibly translations of the relevant work.

In that case the relevant authors have translated from the relevant works as they are contained in either the KSA or KGW. In citing theKSA, the standard order is volume number: notebook number [note number], e.g., KSA 11: 25 [7]. In a few cases the page number is given after the note number, for quick reference; thus KSA 12: 9 [89].382. And in some cases the authors cite KSA by volume number: page number.
