Erich Heller Boeken

This is a translation of both volumes of Nietzsche's Human, All Too Human. The first volume appeared in 1878, just before Nietzsche abandoned his academic life. In 1886 it was republished, incorporating in a second volume two books of aphorisms which Nietzsche had published in the meantime. Subtitled 'A Book for Free Spirits', Human, All Too Human marked for Nietzsche a new 'positivism' and scepticism with which he challenged his previous metaphysical and psychological assumptions. Nearly all the themes of his later work are displayed here with characteristic perceptiveness and honesty, it remains one of the works fundamental for an understanding of his thought.

Für Erich Heller ist die Literatur Ausdruck der Zeit, in der sie entstanden ist. Er nimmt ohne Scheu die Dichter beim Wort, um eine Diagnose unseres erschütterten Weltbildes zu geben. Die drei in diesem Band versammelten Studien sind Beispiele solcher Diagnostik: Die Essays über Franz Kafka und Karl Kraus stellen die Wahrheitsfrage an die Dichtung und an die Satire; der dritte Aufsatz beschreibt die »abenteuerliche Geschichte der modernen Poesie«.
