Ilustration Concering Books Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits
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.List Regarding Books Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits

A fun read for the iconoclastic teenager, as all teenagers should be - and, well, everybody else, too. Try to read the book without prejudice, or rather in spite of it, no: in conflict with it. And remember, as probably with all books, where and when it was written - long before the Nazis and the European World Wars, after the Enlightenment, at the end of Romanticism and the birth of Existentialism (loved Dostoevsky), 30 years after "The Origin of the Species", 100 years before The SatanicThis early Nietzsche book contains the genesis of some of his most important discussions, including his conception of history, time, and one can argue, his ethics rooted in a humanism that will later be picked up by Arendt, Sartre and Heidegger, among others.

A large collection of more than a thousand aphorisms (and a few poems and dialogues) split up into two books. The first book is split up by theme (morality, religion, the state, women etc.) - the second book is more loosely structured. You get a ton of thoughts ranging from a few sentences to a few pages; the best part being that you can see how cleanly Nietzsche develops a thought over a few inter-connected aphorism (and then comes back to it later, only to refute it). It's like reading through
Probably my favorite book by Nietzsche excluding Thus Spoke Zarathustra. If you love aphorisms that pack a punch then this will be right up your alley. Not a laborious read like some "treatise" philosophy, but witty, controversial, eloquent, and brutally honest. My favorite aphorism - "Life consists of rare individual moments of the highest significance and countless intervals in which at best the phantoms of those moments hover over us. Love, spring, a beautiful melody, the mountains, the moon,
A few remarks on a great work. - Human, All Too Human is one of Nietzsche's earlier efforts. As such, its one thousand, three hundred and ninety-six aphorisms come across as, not the ravings of a lunatic (see Ecce Homo), but merely the ramblings of an eccentric. This, as is well known, is the hallmark of the best philosophy.Perhaps the reason for the relative lack of attention this voluminous book receives in the literature lies in its dearth of references to what are considered the
