The book "Human, All Too Human" (1878) was written after the completion of Nietzsche's friendship with Richard Wagner and his forced departure from academic life due to health issues. It can be read as a monument to his personal crisis. It also marks the moment he matured as a philosopher, rejecting the German Romanticism promoted by Wagner and Schopenhauer, while returning to sources of the French Enlightenment. In this work, his subversive views are presented through a series of 638 striking aphorisms, examining topics ranging from art to arrogance, from boredom to passion, from science to vanity, and from women to youth. This work also contains the seeds of concepts that are fundamental to Nietzsche's later philosophy, such as the will to power and the need to transcend conventional Christian morality. The result is one of the cornerstones of his life's work.
