About the book >.>.> Upon closer examination however they reveal a thematic unity that is not always obvious at first. The Untimely Meditations contain important early discussions of such essential ‘Nietzschean’ sub- jects as the relationship between life art and philosophy; the char- acter and cultivation of the ‘true self’; education (and its vital erotic dimension) and the difference between genuine wisdom and mere knowledge (or ‘science’). Moreover these four short works – especially the last two – always retained a special deeply personal significance for their author who considered them to be key documents for understanding his development as a philoso- pher. They are not admittedly as immediately accessible as many of Nietzsche’s other writings largely because of the way in which the Untimely Meditations are related to specific events authors and intellectual and cultural movements of his own era. The following remarks do not give even a preliminary analysis of the philosophi- cal substance or content of these works. (LL)
