Summary of Human, All-Too-Human: A Book for Free Spirits (Great Books in Philosophy Series) (2 Parts)

In summing up the crucial change of perspective expressed in Human, All Too Human, Nietzsche used the following words in his later work Ecce Homo:

"Human, All Too Human' is a memorial of a crisis.... [W]ith this book I liberated myself from that in my nature which did not belong to me. Idealism does not belong to me...realities were altogether lacking in my knowledge, and the idealities were worth damn all! A downright burning thirst seized hold of me: thenceforward I pursued in fact nothing other than physiology, medicine, and natural science."

This is an essential work for anyone who wishes to understand Nietzsche's incisive critique of Western culture and values.
