Human, all too human
 |
Description
Book Introduction
A bold liberation from existing moral studies
A free spirit of wandering, unfettered by the world
The essence of Nietzsche's philosophy, a pioneer of humanism
Nietzsche's masterpiece, written amid illness and wandering
"Human, All Too Human" is Nietzsche's masterpiece, written during his illness and wanderings.
This was written by Nietzsche to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of the freethinker Voltaire in 1878, and was published with the subtitle 'Writings for the Free Spirit'.
It is the most extensive of Nietzsche's works and an important philosophical work containing the essence of Nietzsche's philosophy.
Consisting of independent prose pieces ranging from a single line to three or four pages, "Human, All Too Human" explores a wide range of issues, from critical philosophical discussions of metaphysics, morality, and religion to questions about friendship, men and women, family, and the state.
It depicts life's problems concisely and clearly, with the eyes of a sharp thinker, but from a very human perspective.
These fragmentary or proverbial expressions are the most striking feature that distinguishes him from his earlier works.
The short form of the story clearly reveals the genius of thought and free spirit.
This work occupies a unique position in the overall flow of Nietzsche's thought through three positions: the negation of traditional metaphysics and Schopenhauer's philosophy, the break with Wagner and Wagnerian music, and the free spirit.

Into the book
But what I have always needed most, over and over again, for my own healing and self-recovery, was the conviction to 'not' have such an isolated or lonely 'view'.
That is, the alluring speculation that there might be affinity or similarity in the eyes or desires, the comfort of the trust of friendship, the blindness between two people without suspicion or question, the enjoyment of the foreground? Appearance? Intimacy? The enjoyment of the most intimate things, of color, skin, and everything superficial.
--- p.12
No Shame—A person is not ashamed to think unclean thoughts, but he will be ashamed if he feels that others suspect him of having such thoughts.
--- p.71
We think of ourselves as extraordinary beings, but we never dream of ever being able to draw a Raphael painting or create a scene from a Shakespeare play, so we believe such abilities are simply outrageous, a rare coincidence, or, if we are religious, a gift from heaven.
Thus, our vanity and self-love promote the worship of genius.
Because genius only hurts our feelings when we think of it as a 'miracle', quite isolated from us.
--- p.124
The key—the 'one' idea that a great man holds in high esteem while being the laughing stock and scorn of the lesser man—is to him the key that unlocks a hidden treasure, but to the common man it is nothing more than a piece of scrap metal.
--- p.134
Fifteen minutes early—we sometimes meet people who hold views that are out of their time, but who have only acquired the popular view of what will be ten years from now.
He has public opinion, before it becomes public opinion.
That is, he accepted the old view 15 minutes earlier than others.
But his fame is bound to be far higher than that of truly great and outstanding men.
--- p.184
Ugliest of all—I doubt whether any well-traveled person has ever found anywhere in the world uglier than the human face.
--- p.200
The family of the suicide victim—The family of the suicide victim regrets that he did not live, considering their reputation.
--- p.200
The presence of witnesses - People are more likely to jump in after a drowning person if they are accompanied by others who lack the courage to do so.
--- p.201
People who fail at something tend to attribute their failure to someone else's malice rather than to chance.
His sense of impatience is relieved by attributing his failures to people, not things.
Because you can take revenge on people, but you can't help but swallow up the damage caused by chance.
--- p.212
Friendships are made not by sharing sorrows, but by sharing joys.
--- p.264
Humiliation—If he finds even a single seed of humiliation mixed in the bag of benefits he has received from others, he frowns even at good things.
--- p.338
A sober book—a good thinker expects a reader who can understand the happiness contained in a good idea.
Therefore, even a book that appears cold and harsh can, to those with discerning eyes, appear as a true solace for the soul, a ray of sunshine that brings clarity to the mind.
--- p.367
Ownership owns—possession makes man independent and freer, but only within certain limits.
If you go just a little beyond that limit, the possessor becomes the master and the owner becomes the slave.
As a slave, he must sacrifice his time and reflection for possessions.
And after that, you feel yourself bound to social circles, fixed in one place, and assimilated into the nation.
Perhaps everything is contrary to his innermost and most essential desires.
--- pp.431~432
The press—consider the fact that every great political event is still being brought to the stage, hidden and hidden behind trivial and small events, and that these events, much later, have far greater consequences and shake the foundations.
So what meaning can we give to the media that daily tortures us with its screams, deafening, provocative and startling rhetoric?
Isn't it just an 'eternal fuss' that misleads the ears and senses?
--- p.435
To what extent do machines degrade people—they are impersonal, they take away the pride of work, they take away some of the personal 'goodness and weakness' that accompanies all non-machine work, that bit of humanity.
In the past, buying things from artisans was all about 'recognizing the individual characteristics of each person', and thus people lived surrounded by their marks.
For example, furniture and clothing became symbolic expressions of the mutual evaluation of value and personal homogeneity between the people living there and the artisans.
In contrast, today we seem to live in the midst of an anonymous and impersonal state of slavery.
The convenience of labor should not be bought at too high a price.
--- p.592
Don't try to see too early - while you are experiencing something, you should close your eyes and immerse yourself in the experience.
You must not become an observer 'in that experience'.
Because it will hinder your ability to properly digest the experience, and you will only gain indigestion instead of wisdom.

Publisher's Review
Open your eyes to the 'spirit of freedom'!
The message that 『Human, All Too Human』 wants to convey is as follows.
First, 'This world is full of errors!'
Philosophers lack historical sense.
There is no such thing as absolute truth or eternal facts (philosophy).
People become Christians through false beliefs and feel saved (religion).
Nietzsche also believed that there is no absolute standard of good and evil in moral terms, and that standards change with the times.
Nietzsche argued that it was wrong to see beauty as linked to happiness, and that art was nothing more than a veil that obscured the face of reality.
Second, awaken to the "free spirit"! Nietzsche's thoughts are clearly evident even in a few passages from "Human, All Too Human," such as, "Sometimes one opposes an opinion, but in fact, one simply disagrees with the tone in which it is expressed." "Few, when short of topics, would not sacrifice something belonging to a friend's secret."
Above all, in Chapter 6 of 『Human, All Too Human』, we can experience Nietzsche's sharp aphorisms about human relationships.
In particular, words that pierce through the human ego seem to stab the heart.
But that sharpness may be an expression of distrust toward the world.
Here, ‘free spirit’ is a key word that appears in Nietzsche’s representative work of his mid-period, ‘Human, All Too Human.’
There is a famous diagram that shows the steps of the human spirit in Nietzsche's work: 'camel → lion → baby'.
The camel, in Christian and metaphysical terms, represents the spirit of struggling with life as a heavy burden.
The lion corresponds to the spirit of freedom that is being talked about here.
It refers to the spirit of new-age intellectuals who want to abandon all traditional and conventional worldviews and escape from their burdens.
According to Nietzsche, modern society has reached a point where it has developed a spirit of skepticism toward all traditional values.
But I haven't set any new goals for my life yet.
So sometimes it becomes a denial for the sake of denial, a meeting for the sake of meeting, and it becomes exhausting.
Nevertheless, the spirit of freedom that seeks to break free from all these bonds is an absolutely necessary process for modern people.
A revolutionary thought that criticized the sense of moral duty
“Where you see the ideal, I see the human, all too human.” These are the words of Nietzsche, who rejected existing values and truths and especially strongly criticized idealism.
In this book, he reveals in short sentences and passages that the essence of all idealism is nothing more than fundamentally human, all too human, needs and longings.
Nietzsche was a thinker who began his academic research as a genius philologist.
Nietzsche's influence on modern thought is immeasurable, and one cannot discuss the creation of the modern era without mentioning Nietzsche.
Nietzsche conducts a critical analysis of moral concepts and sense of duty.
He argues that these ideas and rituals are nothing more than useful illusions, false, last resort options chosen by humans to survive, and are accepted as good because they bring about useful results.
In a free-spirited style, he points out the self-satisfaction of pride and superiority, and the calculation of egoism.
Nietzsche the Wanderer, For the Free Spirit
In the preface to Human, All Too Human, added eight years after its first publication, Nietzsche looked back on the time when he first published the book and wrote:
“When I was in trouble, when I was suffering from illness? loneliness? homesickness? apathy? inaction? I needed free spirits as companions instead of friends, as trustworthy companions and welcomes who could chat and laugh with me to keep me in a good mood, and then, when I got tired, give me to the devil.” Nietzsche, as a wanderer unfettered by anything, kept in constant free conversation with himself, keeping only his own shadow as his companion.
By doing so, he denied the base human desires that were entrenched in existing authority and prejudice, and achieved liberation from them.
Finally, the spirit of freedom was established.
The free spirit that Nietzsche speaks of is a spirit that wanders with utmost freedom and carefreeness, not bound by any system or discipline, a spirit liberated from convention, and a mature spirit that allows the path to countless opposing ways of thinking.
Nietzsche, a wanderer who overcame a life of suffering and sought true human value.
This masterpiece will remain a shining legacy for humanity forever, as it allows us to discover his true self.
