Will to Power and Eternal Reincarnation

Nietzsche is a controversial philosopher who is widely known but little known in China. He has unique life experiences and ideological characteristics. He is a university professor, but he denies the work of other professors who are dedicated to education; he is a philosopher, but he opposes with great vigor the philosophies that appeared before him; he refutes the tradition, but at the same time he becomes a part of the tradition. Editor Günter Wolfrat is an internationally renowned expert on Nietzsche. He selected and compiled this work from the 5,000 pages of Nietzsche's posthumous manuscripts from Volumes 7 to 13 of the KSA Edition (KSA), not according to system, but strictly according to chronology. The first principle of the selection is to pay special attention to passages in Nietzsche's philosophy involving keywords such as "will", "will to power", "eternal recurrence" and "nihilism"; important figures that Nietzsche came into contact with in his life, such as Schopenhauer and Wagner; and issues that Nietzsche often thought about, such as ancient Greek and Roman culture, Christianity, art and morality. The second principle of selection is to strive for objectivity and even present a critical reading perspective. Reading this philosophical manuscript is like appreciating "the diary written by an intellectual." Wolfart's findings from studying Nietzsche's thoughts are also attached. Reading this book can help us see the truest Nietzsche, and enable us to understand Nietzsche's "experimental philosophy" spirit concretely, intuitively, and without restraint. It is an excellent book for beginners and researchers of Nietzsche's philosophy.
