Book Review

Friedrich Nietzsche's «Human, All Too Human» represents a significant turning point in the author's philosophy, a departure from metaphysics and a shift towards a more scientific and rational approach. Critics note that in this book, Nietzsche begins to develop ideas that later become central to his philosophy, such as the critique of morality, religion, and traditional values. The book consists of aphorisms, making it a fragmented read, yet rich and profound. Nietzsche explores human nature, seeking to understand it through the lens of historical and cultural context. Critics emphasize that this work marks the beginning of his mature period, where he abandons romantic illusions and turns to a more pragmatic view of the world. Some reviewers find the book challenging due to its structure and density of ideas, but it offers a wealth of material for reflection and analysis. Overall, «Human, All Too Human» is regarded as an important stage in the evolution of Nietzsche's philosophical thought, demonstrating his transition to a more critical and analytical style of thinking.
