Human, All Too Human

A Book For Free Spirits

By

Friedrich Nietzsche

Translated by Alexander Harvey

Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits is a book by 19th century philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, originally published in 1878.

The book is Nietzsche's first in the aphoristic style that would come to dominate his writings, discussing a variety of concepts in short paragraphs or sayings. Reflecting an admiration of Voltaire as a free thinker, but also a break in his friendship with composer Richard Wagner two years earlier, Nietzsche dedicated the original 1878 edition of Human, All Too Human “to the memory of Voltaire on the celebration of the anniversary of his death, May 30, 1778.” Instead of a preface, the first part originally included a quotation from Descartes’ Discourse on the Method. Nietzsche later republished all three parts as a two-volume edition in 1886, adding a preface to each volume, and removing the Descartes quote as well as the dedication to Voltaire.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

One of Nietzsche's earlier works that distinctly defined his aphoristic style that would dominate his later writings. Here he addresses the metaphysical, challenges the ideas of good and evil, and looks at man's relationship with the state. In this ground breaking and controversial book, we see the foundations of some of Nietzsche's most revolutionary concepts being laid out.
