Description
This volume presents Nietzsche’s remarkable collection of almost 1400 aphorisms in R. J. Hollingdale’s 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.
