Very problematic
This page is an advertisement for a very problematic project. The supposed "lost book" of Nietzsche, Magnum in parvo: A philosophy in compendium, is and was no book at all. The author of the Wikipedia page admits this fact when s/he writes, "However, a sudden change of opinion...determined that this unique work was finally published not in the planned unitary form, but dissolved and mixed with other materials in two different books." That's how it was with ALL of Nietzsche's works. He tried out ideas and even wrote rough outlines like the present "compendium," constantly in his notebooks. Some of these ideas and plans came to fruition in his books. To cut to the chase, Magnum in parvo is similar to Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche's ransacking of her brother's notebooks to manipulate his words into another "lost book" that never existed, namely, The Will to Power. Nietzsche himself warned against such projects: “The worst readers are those who behave like plundering troops: they take away a few things they can use, dirty and confound the remainder, and revile the whole.” Eliswinterabend (talk) 13:02, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
