Nietzsche: Human All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits (Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy)

About this book

This volume presents Nietzsches remarkable collection of almost 1400 aphorisms in R. J. Hollingdales distinguished translation together with a new historical introduction by Richard Schacht. Subtitled "A Book for Free Spirits " Human All Too Human marked for Nietzsche a new "positivism" and skepticism 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--not to say suspicion and irony--in language of great brio. It remains one of the fundamental works for an understanding of his thought.
