A guide to the whole of Nietzsche's understudied early masterpiece

Nietzsche's Unfashionable Observations often translated as the Untimely Meditations or Thoughts Out of Season is made up of four independent essays written between 1873 and 1876. The book remains a puzzle: what structure, principles and arguments underlie the essays? Presupposing no prior knowledge of Nietzsche or the text, Jeffrey Church sets the essays in historical and philosophical context, guides you through the text section-by-section and develops a structural overview of each essay. He reveals how the common themes of freedom, culture and genius unify the book.

Jeffrey Church is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Houston. He is the author of Nietzsche's Culture of Humanity: Beyond Aristocracy and Democracy in the Early Period (Cambridge University Press, 2015) and Infinite Autonomy: The Divided Individual in the Political Thought of G. W. F. Hegel and Friedrich Nietzsche (Penn State University Press, 2012) which was awarded Best First Book by the Foundations of Political Theory section of APSA.
