The Pre-platonic Philosophers Reproduces The Text Of A Lecture Series Delivered By The Young Friedrich Nietzsche (then A Philologist) At The University Of Basel Between 1872 And 1876. In These Lectures, Nietzsche Surveys The Greek Philosophers From Thales To Socrates, Establishing A New Chronology For The Progression Of Their Natural Scientific Insights. Roughly Formulating Many Of The Themes He Later Developed At Length, Nietzsche Sketches Concepts Such As The Will To Power, Eternal Recurrence, And Self-overcoming And Links Them To Specific Pre-platonics. This Translation, Complete With Nietzsche's Own Extensive Sidenotes And Philological Citations, Is Accompanied By A Prologue, Introductory Essay, And Extensive Translator's Commentary. Whitlock's Translation Definitively Confirms That Nietzsche Grouped Socrates With The Earlier Greeks, Rather Than With Plato And Other Mixed Character Philosophers As Many Interpreters Have Claimed. That Nietzsche's Philosophical Sympathies Lay With The Pre-platonics, As Opposed To The Pre-socratics, Bears Substantially On His Later Rejection Of Absolutes Such As Truth, Knowledge, Beauty, And Being. The Pre-platonic Philosophers Is Invaluable Both
