Synopsis "Human, All Too Human"

The first of his books to use aphorisms - though certainly not the last - Human, All Too Human breaks away from Friedrich Nietzsche's earlier book, The Birth of Tragedy, in both style and philosophy. Here we have this great writer's transition into the middle period of his career, with a strong emphasis on the metaphysical; in Nietzsche's opinion, in reference to the title of this volume, only through understanding can we overcome what makes us "all too human." Though we recognize the brilliance of this thought today, at the time of publication in 1908 (in English), he was, alas, poorly received.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (October 15, 1844-Weimar, August 25, 1900) was a German philosopher, poet, musician, and philologist, whose work has had a profound influence on contemporary global thought and Western culture.
Nietzsche wrote on topics as diverse as art, philology, music, history, religion, science, and tragedy. He critiqued culture, religion, and Western philosophy through the genealogy of the concepts that integrate them, based on the analysis of moral attitudes (positive and negative) towards life.
It is particularly notable the influence exerted on Nietzsche by the also German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, whom he considered his teacher, although he did not follow Schopenhauer's ideas dogmatically, and in many aspects, he diverged from his thought, even making a radical critique of his philosophical ideas.
