The essays that follow have been edited so as to use the same citation format throughout. References are given in the body of the book. Redundant references to the German texts for Nietzsche’s published writings have been deleted, since these are easily identifiable in the now standard editions. References to Nietzsche’s unpublished writings have been standardized, whenever possible, to refer to the most accessible edition of Nietzsche’s notebooks and publications, the Kritiscbe Stttdienausgabe (KSA), compiled under the general editorship of Giorgio Colli and Mazzino Montinari. References to the edition of letters in this collection are cited as KSAB.
Roman numerals denote the volume number of a set of collected works or standard subdivision within a single work, and Arabic numerals denote the relevant section number. In cases in which Nietzsche’s prefaces are cited, the letter “P” is used followed by the relevant section number, where applicable. When a section is too long for the section number alone to be useful, the page number of the relevant translation is also provided. In the cases in which the KGW and KSA are cited, references provide the volume number (and part for KGW) followed by the relevant fragment number and any relevant aphorism (e.g., KSA 10:12[1].37 refers to volume 10, fragment 12[1], aphorism 37).
