Synopsis

The publication of Human, all-too-Human extends over the period 1878-1880. Of the two divisions which constitute the Second Part, "Miscellaneous Maxims and Opinions" appeared in 1879, and "The Wanderer and his Shadow" in 1880, Nietzsche being then in his thirty-sixth year. The Preface was added in 1886. The whole book forms Nietzsche's first lengthy contribution to literature. His previous works comprise only the philological treatises, The Birth of Tragedy, and the essays on Strauss, Schopenhauer, and Wagner in Thoughts out of Season. With the volumes of Human, all-too-Human Nietzsche appears for the first time in his true colours as philosopher. His purely scholarly publications, his essays in literary and musical criticism-especially the essay on Richard Wagner at Bayreuth-had, of course, foreshadowed his work as a thinker.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900) was a German philosopher, philologist, and cultural critic whose work has had a lasting influence on modern thought. His writings address questions of morality, religion, knowledge, and the formation of values, often challenging established systems of belief and emphasising the role of historical and psychological forces in shaping human understanding.Among his major works are Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, On the Genealogy of Morals, and Human, All Too Human. This latter work represents an important stage in his intellectual development, marking a shift toward a more analytical and aphoristic style. Nietzsche's influence extends across philosophy, literature, and social theory, and his work continues to be widely studied and debated.

Paul V. Cohn was a translator of German philosophical works whose translations contributed to the wider English-language reception of nineteenth-century continental thought. His rendering of Human, All Too Human reflects an effort to present Nietzsche's aphoristic style with clarity and precision while maintaining the structure of the original text. Translations such as Cohn's played an important role in introducing Nietzsche's work to English-speaking audiences and in shaping early interpretations of his philosophy.
