Der Wille zur Macht. En analys av den editionsteoretiska striden om Friedrich Nietzsches litterära kvarlåtenskap

Sammanfattning: In my thesis I examine the editorial theory and practice of the Nietzsche-Archives. At the center of the academic debate we find the posthumous edition Der Wille zur Macht, firstly published 1901 as Friedrich Nietzsches magnum opus. 1906 a new edition was published, which has been described by Nietzsche-scholars as canonical. The editors Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche and Heinrich Köselitz manipulated the literary remains of Friedrich Nietzsche. The Nietzsche-scholars interpret these textual corrections and interventions differently. Some scholars view these interventions as philologically, philosophically and politically damaging, while some value the same alterations as philosophically unimportant. Following the terminology of the textual critic D.C. Greetham I located an Alexandrian approach. This group accepts interventions. The other group is called Pergamanian and regards any kind of editorial intervention as heresy.
