«Humano, demasiado humano» is the philosophical work by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, published by Editorial Edaf in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
Nietzsche interrogates the foundations of the morality of his time and the cultural heritage of the West. Against that heritage, the philosopher champions a renewed ideal of culture and a will to power that transmutes received values, understood as a morality that blocks a fuller life and the demands of health and truth.
This edition belongs to the Biblioteca Edaf collection (no. 123); it includes the prologue and chronology by Dolores Castrillo Mirat and the translation by Carlos Vergara.
Readers interested in Western philosophy and in the critique of moral values.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German philosopher and writer who started his career as a classical philologist and turned to philosophy early in his academic career. In 1869, at age 24, he was appointed Professor of Classical Philology at the University of Basel. Plagued by health problems for most of his life, he resigned from the university in 1879. He afterward lived as an independent writer, spending much of his life in relative solitude and financial insecurity while moving between Switzerland, Italy, and southern France in search of climates that might alleviate his condition, and in the following decade, he completed much of his core writing. In 1889, aged 44, he suffered a neurological collapse, and thereafter a complete loss of his mental faculties, with paralysis and vascular dementia; he lived out his remaining 11 years, first under the care of his mother, and later his sister, until his death. His works and his philosophy have fostered not only extensive scholarship but also much popular interest.
