languages other than German and includes, immediately after such phrases, an
English translation in the text, placed in italics within square brackets (e.g. [English
translation]). If the quotation is more than a few words long, the English
version is included in the text, and Nietzsche’s original quotation appears in
a note at the end of the translation.
Sometimes,
when there may be some ambiguity about the meaning of a word or phrase in the
original, this text also includes in square brackets a term from Nietzsche’s
German text.

endnotes, which provide information about people or quotations mentioned in the
text, have been provided by the translator.
