Bibliographical Note

Nietzsche’s works are generally cited by section numbers, as these are the same in all editions.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Twilight of the Idols, and Nietzsche contra Wagner are not composed of consecutively numbered sections; but they are available in a single volume, along with The Antichrist and selections from Nietzsche’s other books, from his notes, and from his letters: The Portable Nietzsche, selected and translated, with an introduction, prefaces, and notes, by Walter Kaufmann, The Viking Press, New York, 1954. Page numbers refer to this volume.

Walter Kaufmann, Nietzsche: Philosopher, Psychologist, Antichrist was originally published by the Princeton University Press in 1950. The pagination of the revised paperback edition, published by Meridian Books, New York, 1956, was different, and that of the third, revised and greatly enlarged edition (Princeton University Press and Random House, Vintage Books, 1968) is different again. The book is therefore cited not by pages but by chapters and sections. The third edition contains a comprehensive Bibliography that includes Nietzsche’s books, collected editions, material not included in these, his correspondence in German, English translations, and works about Nietzsche by over a hundred authors.
