Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche "The Will to Power"

Books I & II @
https://gutenberg.org/ebooks/52914

Books III & IV @
https://gutenberg.org/ebooks/52915

*Note:* I hesitate suggesting any works of Nietzsche's to which his sister, Elizabeth, contributed in any way due to her allegiance to and collusion with the Nazi party. Friedrich wasn't alive during the "Nazi era", and in fact despised the anti-Semitism that was so virulent throughout Europe during his own lifetime. It's oft believed that he himself was a Nazi, by those too ignorant to understand facts or those willing to ignore them to suit their own narratives. While "The Will to Power" is a posthumous collection of Nietzsche's material put together by Elizabeth, it is easy, at least to those familiar with Nietzsche's writings, to recognize when a certain Aphorism, in part or in full, in "The Will to Power" doesn't quite fit Nietzsche's 'style', so to speak. This is a book I've read repeatedly, most often during the years in which I dissected all of his writings for what was essentially a thesis dedicated to Nietzsche's Philosophy of Art relative to that of Plato.

If this work is picked up as a project, I'm more than willing to help in an advisory capacity, if need be. Thank-you.

It would be only USA readers - the translator died 1971.

It's related to translator death dates? That's new information I was unaware of. I was under the impression it's date of original publication date the the book, that translations and editions had no relevance. Thank-you, Anne.

Copyright in countries other than the US use death dates of the author for determining how long a copyright will hold on to a work. This also includes translators because a translation of a work into another language is considered a new work. That's why you will see this disclaimer at the top of some projects.

Volunteers outside the USA (Author's name) died in (year of death). His/Her work is still protected by copyright in places, like Europe, where copyright is author's death plus 70 years, Australia (author's death plus 70 years for authors who died after 1954, or Canada (authors's death plus 50 years).


This is a warning to everyone who is not a US'ian that it may not be legal for them to record the work. In the US, though, it is the copyright date for certain works. That's why we can use anything published before 1922, inclusive. There are different rules when it comes to copyrighted work after 1922, but that is another can of worms!

This long book doesn't seem to be in Librivox's catalog

The Will to Power, Book I and II by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
Translated By Anthony M. Ludovici 1913 (1882-1971)

Thorough Nihilism is the conviction that life is absurd, in the light of the highest values already discovered; it also includes the view that we have not the smallest right to assume the existence of transcendental objects or things in themselves, which would be either divine or morality incarnate.
The Will to Power, Book III and IV by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
Translated By Anthony M. Ludovici 1913 (1882-1971)

A "thing-in-itself" is just as absurd as a "sense-in-itself," a "meaning-in-itself." There is no such thing as a "fact-in-itself," for a meaning must always be given to it before it can become a fact.
The world needs some positive fanaticism.
