Synopsis

Human, All Too Human by Friedrich Nietzsche provides a comprehensive examination of the human condition as it relates to morality and ethics, foregrounding Nietzsche's radical perspective on the illusory nature of moral systems which rely on rigidly defined categories of good and evil. In doing so, Nietzsche challenges traditional religious interpretations of morality and urges readers to rethink their values through the lens of his own philosophy. Read in English, unabridged.

About Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) was a German philosopher and philologist whose best-known works include Thus Spoke Zarathustra; Ecce Homo; Human, All Too Human; and Beyond Good and Evil. Much of his work is characterized by radical questioning of the value and objectivity of truth and criticism of traditional ideals of morality. Nietzsche's writings were significant influences on the existentialist, nihilist, and postmodernist schools of thought, as well as on the work of such later writers as Herman Hesse, Albert Camus, Sigmund Freud, and Jean-Paul Sartre.

This shift in attitude is strongly conveyed in this amazing work, Human, All Too Human.......more
