Are these English translations of Nietzsche from Stanford University Press way better than Walter Kaufmann's? Anybody got a link to them?

How the fuck would anyone on this website know? Do you expect anyone here to actually be familiar with the original text and the methodology by which to translate it? Do you honestly believe there is even a sliver of a chance that a single god damn person on this god damn website is qualified to answer such a question? Jesus fucking christ
Kaufmann can bottleneck your interpretation of Nietzsche in a sense, because he too strongly denies protofascistic elements in Friedrich's thought. I'd stick with Kaufmann for Nietzsche's work but consult secondary literature about Nietzsche extensively.
The Stanford Complete Works are a fucking dumpster fire
almost every single one of his fucking works has a DIFFERENT FUCKING TRANSLATOR
the only thing of worth the project will bring to publication is many of Nietzsche's unpublished little fragments, and though that may sound enticing keep in mind they were unpublished for a reason. There will be tremendous crossover between his unpublished notes and his published works and thus many will be redundant.

What a weird reaction.
I'm not even OP, but /lit/ has shown several times to be knowledgeable and helpful in comparing different translations and their quality.
Besides not everyone's native tongue is English.
I had one of translators as a professor and sadly it doesn't sound like the series will be completed if that makes a difference for you.
