Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits (Texts in German Philosophy)

Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits (Texts in German Philosophy) by Nietzsche, Friedrich. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780521319454.

This is a translation of both volumes of Nietzsches Human, All Too Human. The first volume appeared in 1878, just before Nietzsche abandoned his academic life. In 1886 it was republished, incorporating in a second volume two books of aphorisms which Nietzsche had published in the meantime. Subtitled A Book for Free Spirits, Human, All Too Human marked for Nietzsche a new positivism and scepticism with which he challenged his previous metaphysical and psychological assumptions. Nearly all the themes of his later work are displayed here with characteristic perceptiveness and honesty, it remains one of the works fundamental for an understanding of his thought.
