# Human, All Too Human prints a free-spirit book that also scorns socialist and democratic levelling

Date: 1878

## The fact

In 1878 Chemnitz issued Menschliches, Allzumenschliches, Nietzsche’s public break with Wagner that also treats democratic and socialist equality as a levelling threat.

It is one event.

## Context

The same volume can be a secular psychology gain on another row. He signed the book in his lifetime.

[Friedrich Nietzsche](/people/friedrich-nietzsche)’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers date the row.

## Evidence and sources

eKGWB and Gutenberg’s public English independently present the 1878 free-spirit volume and its political asides.

Official or archival record: Nietzsche Source — Digital Critical Edition (eKGWB) (https://doc.nietzschesource.org/en/ekgwb; Nietzsche Source / Paolo D’Iorio).

## Significance

A bestselling break-with-metaphysics that also teaches contempt for equality is a [democratic-resilience](/drivers/democratic-resilience) cost.

Dedication to [Voltaire](/people/voltaire) is a separate ancestry, not a rebate.

A bestselling break-with-metaphysics that also teaches contempt for equality is a democratic-resilience cost.

## What is established and what is not

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Friedrich Nietzsche.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date, signatory, or non-occurrence; a demonstrated forgery; or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of other causes.
