NIETZSCHE CITATIONS

 

    References to Nietzsche’s writings are included in the body of the text using the standard English title abbreviations indicated below.  With reference to translations, Roman numerals denote a standard subdivision within a single work in which the sections are not numbered consecutively (e.g., On the Genealogy of Morals), Arabic numerals denote the section number rather than the page number, and “P” denotes Nietzsche’s Prefaces.

   If a particular translation is used, this is indicated with an endnote to the initial citation reference.

   References to the editions by Giorgio Colli and Mazzino Montinari take the following forms:

Kritische Gesamtausgabe (KGW) (Berlin: de Gruyter, 1967-) is cited by division number (Roman), followed by volume number (Arabic), followed by the fragment number.

Kritische Studienausgabe (KSA) (Berlin: de Gruyter, 1980) is cited by volume number (Arabic) followed by the fragment number.

Briefwechsel: Kritische Gesamtausgabe (KGB) (Berlin: de Gruyter, 1975-) is cited by division number (Roman), followed by volume number (Arabic), followed by page number.

Sämtliche Briefe: Kritische Studienausgabe (KSB) (Berlin: de Gruyter, 1986) is cited by volume number (Arabic) followed by page number.

     References to Thus Spoke Zarathustra list the part number and chapter title, e.g., (Z:3 “The Convalescent”).

     References to Twilight of the Idols and Ecce Homo list abbreviated chapter title and section number, e.g., (TI “Ancients” 3) or (EH “Books” BGE:2).

     References to texts in which sections are too long to be cited helpfully by section number cite section number then page number, e.g., (SE 3, p. 142), with the translation/edition endnoted.
