Synthesized answer
The provided passages indicate that "Daybreak" is considered a work of Nietzsche's "mature" philosophy [1]. This phrasing implies a development in his thought, suggesting that there was an earlier stage of his philosophical development before this "mature" period [1].
The passages do not, however, provide a detailed explanation of what constitutes Nietzsche's "mature" philosophy or how it differs from his earlier ideas. They simply label "Daybreak" as an example of this mature phase [1]. Therefore, while the passages establish that "mature" philosophy is a concept applied to Nietzsche's work and implies a developmental aspect, they do not elaborate on the specific characteristics of this maturity or its developmental trajectory.
