It initiates some important features that become permanent in his work, such as his experiments in multiple writing styles within one work, his self-representation as a psychologist, his genealogical excavations of morality and his appeal to fellow Europeans to overcome the parochialism and antagonism of nationalism. Ruth Abbey shows Nietzsche to be more receptive to the Enlightenment tradition than he is typically taken to be. She assumes no knowledge of the text or of Nietzsche.

Flap

A guide to one of Nietzsche's earlier and lesser known textsThis is the first comprehensive study of Human, All Too Human. This important book, which is Nietzsche's longest, has received little scholarly attention. It initiates some important features that become permanent in his work, such as his experiments in a diversity of writing styles within a single work, his self-representation as a psychologist, his genealogical excavations of morality and his appeal to fellow Europeans to overcome the parochialism and antagonism of nationalism.Requiring no prior knowledge of Nietzsche or his text, Ruth Abbey maps her chapters onto those of Nietzsche's text and includes a separate chapter to cover the essays Assorted Opinions and Maxims and The Wanderer and Its Shadow, which were originally published as separate works.Ruth Abbey is Professor in the Department of Social Sciences, Swinburne University, Australia.

Review

Abbey rises admirably to the challenge of the massive second edition of Human, All-too-Human, identifying themes and continuities within and between the original works, interpreting charitably but also pinpointing inconsistencies and unreasonable views. This fine work will aid both new and experienced readers of Nietzsche's (unjustly neglected) middle works.-- "Jonathan Cohen, University of Maine at Farmington"
