Human, All Too Human

Dedicated to Voltaire and published in 1878, *Human, All Too Human* is Nietzsche's break with the metaphysical inheritance of his earlier work. The aphoristic form is the philosophical method: nine Divisions move from "Of First and Last Things" through morality, religion, art, culture, society, marriage, the state, and finally "Man Alone with Himself." The book ends Nietzsche's romantic period and begins the long psychological campaign against the moral assumptions he would carry forward into the late works.
