Mittelstraß II, p. 1012 - Nietzsche’s critique of philosophy, in particular of metaphysics. In the future, metaphysical explanations will be superseded by scientific ones, as soon as the latter have explained the true nature of religion, art and morality. Nietzsche also criticises faith in language. When Nietzsche sent the work to Wagner in 1878, the latter reacted with deep hurt and distress, as he sensed the inner loss of his disciple – which led shortly afterwards to a definitive personal break. - Vol. 1, first few pages with a small brown stain on the top edge; name on title page; overall a good copy. New edition with a new introductory preface and a poem titled ‘Among Friends’ at the end of Vol. 1 (3 unnumbered pages). - Nietzsche’s critique of philosophy, particularly metaphysics.
