   yet heidegger argues that these late fragments are nietzsche's most important 
   stuff. 

   make sure you use the critical study edition by colli/montinari (vol 12 &    
   - especially - 13). a n y  other edition of what became known as "der wille 
   zur macht" is corrupted. though schlechta, in his edition, corrected some of 
   the 'nazifications' of peter gast and liz sis by changing the order of    
   presentation, he took the same outtakes of the numerous fragments (see 
   montinaris remark in kritische studienausgabe vol 12, p. 8 & the comments    
   in vol 14). to make yourself a picture of your own, you have to read  a l l  
   the late fragments.

   perhaps nietzsche's late fragments are not so significant. perhaps he had 
   already written down everything important before. perhaps not.
