This collection of essays is in great part based on conference papers given at the International Conference Nietzsche and the Becoming of Life, which took place in November 2009 at the Institute of Humanities, Diego Portales University. I am grateful to the Diego Portales University, Chile, the Goethe-Institute Santiago, Chile, and the German Embassy, Santiago de Chile for their indispensable financial support without which the realization of this event would have been impossible. I thank all the contributors of this volume for their participation.

A draft translation from Spanish to English of the chapters by Virginia Cano, Mnica Cragnolini, and Mariana Cruz has been provided by Jennifer Croft. I thank Miguel Vatter, Matas Bascuan, and Benedict Storck for their help with the revision of the translations as well as the text by Eduardo Nasser. I also thank Nicols del Valle and Tabita Galleguillos for their support. Finally, I thank Michigan State University Press for their permission to reprint my article History, Life and Justice in Friedrich Nietzsches Vom Nutzen und Nachtheil der Historie fr das Leben 2011 Michigan State University. This article originally appeared in CR: The New Centennial Review Vol. 10, Iss. 3, 2011, pages 167188.
