I came across the following passage reading an English version of Nietzsche's The Gay Science:

> 
> *Consciousness (Bewußtsein)*[6] — Consciousness (*Bewußtheit*) is the latest development of the organic, and hence also its most unfinished and unrobust feature. [...]
> 
> 
> [6] The usual German word for 'consciousness' is *Bewußtsein* (literally 'being-in-a-state-of-awareness-of' and this is the term Nietzsche uses in the title of this paragraph. He then however shifts to the much more unusual word *Bewußtheit*, which has an ending (*heit*) that usually signifies an abstract property, and argues against the view that having such a property is something fundamental or specially important to humans.
> 
> 
> 

Would it be correct to translate Bewußtheit as awareness? If not, what does it mean exactly, and how does it relate to Bewußtsein?

Here is the original text:

> 
> Das Bewusstsein. — Die Bewusstheit ist die letzte und späteste Entwickelung des Organischen und folglich auch das Unfertigste und Unkräftigste daran. [...]
