Heidegger's Unsaid Nietzsche explores the necessary terrain of untranslated and recently translated seminars (GA 46, the second text of GA 50, and GA 87) that have been largely excluded from the 1961 Nietzsche collection (GA 6). Not only have these seminars been omitted from scholarship into Heidegger's reading of Nietzsche and the Heidegger-Nietzsche relationship, but they represent what can be called Heidegger's "unsaid Nietzsche," in light of their obscurity, if all of Heidegger's other work on Nietzsche embodies the opposite. These "unsaid" seminars constitute a specialized approach to Nietzsche, narrowly focused on Heidegger's reading of Nietzsche's determination of life in Nietzsche's Untimely Mediations, and how this "determination" is determined by the interconnected notions of thinking, philosophizing, and poetizing. In this way, Heidegger's 1938-1939 lecture in GA 46 acts as a bridge between the two fragmented seminars delivered in the Summer 1937 and Summer 1944, compiled in GA 87, and the unfinished lecture from the Winter 1944/1945 (in GA 50), demonstrating a positioning out of and beyond metaphysical/humanistic thinking about the human and life itself.
