Historischer und kritischer Kommentar zu Friedrich Nietzsches Werken, Band 1.4, Kommentar zu Nietzsches "Unzeitgemässen Betrachtungen" ; III. Schopenhauer als Erzieher. IV. Richard Wagner in Bayreuth

The Heidelberg Academy of Sciences is undertaking the first comprehensive historical and critical commentary of Friedrich Nietzsche’s works. Although Nietzsche is one of the most influential thinkers of the modern age, until now, no general commentary on his oeuvre has been published that addresses the full spectrum of philosophical, historical, and literary factors and contexts that inform his work. This commentary aims to draw together a wide range of existing scholarship, and should considerably enhance our understanding of this important philosopher. Introductory overviews will explain the conceptual interrelationships and structures in Nietzsche’s writings while also illuminating the history of their production and subsequent reception. Comprehensive annotations will address individual textual passages and their origins, thus providing a new perspective on Nietzsche’s works. This annotated edition will represent an indispensible basis for future research on Nietzsche. The commentary will be organized in the same manner as the Critical Study Edition (KSA) by Giorgio Colli and Mazzino Montinari.A total of six volumes are planned, to be released in multiple sub-volumes. A seventh volume will contain various indexes. The entire edition will be completed in 2023. Although Nietzsche is one of the most influential thinkers of modernity, a comprehensive commentary on his complete works has been lacking until now, which opens up the philosophical, historical and literary preconditions and contexts. The Historical and Critical Commentary on Friedrich Nietzsche's Works (Historischer und kritischer Kommentar zu Friedrich Nietzsches Werken), supported by the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and Humanities, brings together the results of previous research and at the same time considerably expands the state of knowledge. Introductory overview commentaries place Nietzsche's writings in their conceptual context, explain their structure and offer information on the history of their creation and impact. Extensive passage commentaries deal with individual parts of the text and their sources. This provides a new approach to Nietzsche's works. This commentary is an indispensable basis for future Nietzsche research. The structure of the commentary follows the Critical Study Edition (Kritische Studienausgabe, KSA) by Giorgio Colli and Mazzino Montinari. In total, the commentary comprises six volumes, which are divided into sub-volumes. The edition will be completed in 2024. In den vier "Unzeitgemässen Betrachtungen" verbindet Nietzsche kritische Zeitdiagnosen mit konstruktivem Zukunftsengagement. Krisensymptome der modernen Zivilisation reflektiert er hier ebenso wie problematische Bildungs- und Wissenschaftskonzepte seiner Epoche. Vor diesem Hintergrund avancieren Schopenhauer und Wagner in der dritten und vierten "Betrachtung" zu 'unzeitgemäßen' Vorbildern. Während Nietzsche das philosophische Ethos Schopenhauers als zukunftsweisendes Gegenmodell zur Gelehrtenkultur und zum Historismus seiner Zeitgenossen darstellt, begreift er Wagners Bayreuth-Projekt als paradigmatischen Impuls für eine Utopie kultureller Erneuerung. Erstmals kommentiert dieser Band beide Werke umfassend in ihrem Kontext. Durch gründliche Quellenstudien rekonstruiert der Kommentar die für sie maßgeblichen Denktraditionen. Dadurch ermöglicht er neue Einsichten in kulturhistorische Horizonte und Diskurse. Zugleich tragen auch wirkungsgeschichtliche Recherchen zu einem vertieften Werkverständnis bei In the third and fourth essays of Unfashionable Observations, Schopenhauer and Wagner are held up as paradigmatic role models. Schopenhauer's philosophical ethos is portrayed as a forward-looking alternative to the scholarly figure of the epoch, while Wagner's Bayreuth project is revealed as a utopia of cultural renewal. This work comments on both essays for the first time in their historical context Inhalt Vorwort Hinweise zur Benutzung Siglenverzeichnis Editorische Zeichen Schopenhauer als Erzieher Überblickskommentar Stellenkommentar Richard Wagner in Bayreuth Überblickskommentar Stellenkommentar Bibliographie Sach- und Begriffsregister Personenregister
