The four short works in Untimely Meditations were published by
Nietzsche between 1873 and 1876.They deal with such broad topics as
the relationship between popular and genuine culture, strategies for
cultural reform, the task of philosophy, the nature of education, and
the relationship between art, science and life. They also include
Nietzsche's earliest statement of his own understanding of human
selfhood as a process of endlessly 'becoming who one is'. As Daniel
Breazeale shows in his introduction to this new edition of R. J.
Hollingdale's translation of the essays, these four early texts are
key documents for understanding the development of Nietzsche's thought
and clearly anticipate many of the themes of his later writings.
Nietzsche himself always cherished his Untimely Meditations and
believed that they provide valuable evidence of his 'becoming and
self-overcoming' and constitute a 'public pledge' concerning his own
distinctive task as a philosopher.
