Description

New Age. Philosophy. Psychology. Nonfiction. HTML: German scholar and thinker Friedrich Nietzsche began his career as a linguist and philologist, but over time, his work became increasingly philosophical in its scope. He came to embrace a radical point of view that prized personal freedom and choice over virtually everything else. In Human, All Too Human, Nietzsche explores the triumphs and tragic shortfalls of human nature in an eminently readable series of aphorisms and short vignettes..

A very contradictory, scathing, and surprisingly witty book. Goes on about 'free spirits'. Almost all of the remarkss are only too relevent now. Unconventional, but brilliant in its own way.

Human, All Too Human (A Book for Free Spirits) is a large collection of Nietzsche's aphorisms originally published from 1878-1879 in two separate volumes, combined in one edition in 1886. The material, which is his first in the aphoristic style, is vast and varied in content, and powerfully

"Where you see ideal things, I see what is -- human, alas, all-too-human. I know man better."

This is the first work of philosophy I read, having been advised to begin with Nietzsche as a beginner reader. Beginner philosophy or not, I think this book was terrific and I related with Nietzsche on many of the things he was saying. In it, Nietzsche discusses his views on Christianity, the

creation of a free thinker, his concept of a higher culture, among many other things. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to get into philosophy. It certainly served to cement my interest in it and to pursue further works of his.

Not going to lie did have to look up what an aphorism was. I think you may need a deeper appreciation of philosophy than I have to be able to appreciate this piece of work.

"Dedicato alla memoria di Voltaire nell'anniversario della sua morte avvenuta il 30 maggio 1778" volle scrivere Nietzsche sul frontespizio della prima edizione di Umano, troppo umano, quasi a sottolineare il carattere "illuministico" di questa sua opera. Scritto tra il 1876 e il 1879, il libro, nella sua forma definitiva, comprende due volumi, nel secondo dei quali Nietzsche raccolse Opinioni e detti diversi e II viandante e la sua ombra, già pubblicati separatamente. Circola in quest'opera, che rifiuta la tentazione metafisica e le sue cristallizzazioni dogmatiche di un conoscere separato dalla vita, una sorta di sottile e spregiudicata ebbrezza intellettuale che cattura il lettore per la ritmica felicità espressiva, perfettamente aderente al gusto della conquista interiore. Introduzione di Giovanni Maria Bertin.
