Description for Dawn: Thoughts on the Presumptions of Morality, Volume 5 Paperback. This edition of Dawn, the second installment in Nietzsche's free spirit trilogy, is a translation of the celebrated Colli--Montinari edition, which is acclaimed as one of the most important works of scholarship in the humanities in the last half century. Translator(s): Smith, Brittain. Series: The Complete Works of Friedrich Nietzsche. Num Pages: 456 pages. BIC Classification: HPCF; HPQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 136 x 183 x 19. Weight in Grams: 348.

Dawn is the most recent volume to appear in the first complete, critical, and annotated English edition of all of Nietzsche's work. The edition, organized originally by Ernst Behler and Bernd Magnus, is a translation of the celebrated Kritische Studienausgabe in 15 Bänden (1980) edited by Giorgio Colli and Mazzino Montinari. The book is the first to appear under the editorial direction of Alan D. Schrift, Keith Ansell-Pearson, and Duncan Large, and to incorporate subsequent corrections to the 1980 edition.

Continuing the positivistic turn of Human, All Too Human, Dawn is the second installment in the free spirit trilogy that culminated in The Joyful Science. One of Nietzsche's "yes-saying" books, it marks his first significant confrontation with morality and offers glimpses of many of the signature themes in his mature works. Dawn has come to be admired in recent years for its ethical naturalism, psychological observations, and therapeutic insights. Presented in Nietzsche's aphoristic style, it is a text with hidden riches, one that must be read between the lines and one that the discerning reader will admire and cherish.

Reviews for Dawn: Thoughts on the Presumptions of Morality, Volume 5
"This series will become the definitive resource for English readers, a resource much needed given the great wave of philosophical, literary, and political interest in Nietzsche's thought. The excellent translations draw on the latest scholarship and are based on the state-of-the-art Colli-Montinari edition. The editors and translators have taken care to provide consistency in rendering Nietzsche's German and explaining important terms and variants. With their extensive and helpful annotations, the translations are indispensable for the scholar and appealing to the general reader."—Gary Shapiro, University of Richmond "English is the only major language into which the Colli-Montinari edition of Nietzsche's works has not yet been fully translated. Alan D. Schrift and Duncan Large have undertaken to complete the effort begun by Ernst Behler and Bernd Magnus, and the first volume under their general editorship, Dawn, represents a huge leap forward. We can finally look forward to the completion of this nineteen-volume series, which will be invaluable not only to specialists but also to students and anyone interested in this remarkable thinker."—Alexander Nehamas, Princeton University
