"Science and Wisdom in Battle" is an essay that explores the tension between scientific knowledge and philosophical wisdom. Nietzsche argues that while science provides valuable insights into the workings of the natural world, it often neglects the deeper, existential questions that are addressed by philosophy. This short essay is also known as "Philosophy and Truth" in some translations. These writings from around 1875 were not formally published during Nietzsche's lifetime. Instead, they were part of his personal notebooks, which were later compiled and published posthumously. The 1875 manuscript was published posthumously by his sister, Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche, in 1894. After Nietzsche's mental collapse in 1889 and his subsequent death in 1900, Elisabeth took control of his literary estate. She founded the Nietzsche Archive in 1894, first in Naumburg and later moving it to Weimar in 1896. Around this time, Elisabeth began editing and publishing Nietzsche's remaining unpublished works and notes. The first comprehensive publication of Nietzsche's posthumous fragments, including many of his notebook entries from the 1870s, was part of the series of publications known as the "Großoktav-Ausgabe" that began in 1894 and continued into the early 20th century. These publications often included Nietzsche's notes and unpublished writings, but the editing was sometimes controversial due to Elisabeth's interventions and possible changes.
