Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

In the following pages are outlined the Life and Philosophy of one
of the most original and picturesque intellectual giants of our
age. For while Schopenhauer offers marked analogies to Johnson,
Rousseau and Byron, and yields in interest to none of them, he was
at the same time a man of absolutely unique mould.

In Beyond Good and Evil, Nietzsche accuses past philosophers of
lacking critical sense and blindly accepting dogmatic premises in
their consideration of morality. The work moves into the realm
"beyond good and evil" in the sense of leaving behind the
traditional morality which Nietzsche subjects to a destructive
critique in favour of what he regards as an affirmative approach
that fearlessly confronts the perspectival nature of knowledge and
the perilous condition of the modern individual.

Human, All Too Human (1878) is often considered the start of
Friedrich Nietzsche's mature period. A complex work that explores
many themes to which Nietzsche later returned, it marks a
significant departure from his previous thinking. Here Nietzsche
breaks with his early allegiance to Schopenhauer and Wagner, and
establishes the overall framework of his later philosophy. In
contrast to his previous disdain for science, now Nietzsche views
science as key to undercutting traditional metaphysics. This he
sees as a crucial step in the emergence of free spirits who will be
the avant-garde of culture.
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.
