is an at best misleading, often downright erroneous translation of Geist, which most notably means mind.

In a religious context it would make sense to interpret it a ' the spirit ' but in philosophy, it makes sense only as thought, mind, the place where consciousness resides.

In my little pocket dictionary the first translated word is spirit. The third is mind. (Second is ghost.)

English "mind" to German first is gamut, second is geist.

But yes, for Nietzsche, I think it would be indicating mind.
