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.

弗里德里希·尼采（Friedrich Nietzsche, 1844-1900），19世纪德国哲学家，唯意志论和生命哲学主要代表之一，被认为是世界最伟大的思想家之一。

早年在波恩大学和莱比锡大学学习，获博士学位。不到25岁就被聘为瑞士巴塞尔大学的古典语文学副教授，并在一年以后成为正教授。一生著述颇丰，如《悲剧的诞生》、《查拉图斯特拉如是说》、《善恶的彼岸》、《强力意志》等，对20世纪的思想界产生重大影响。1889年初，在意大利的都灵街头摔倒，就此精神错乱，于11年后在德国的魏玛去世。
