	===Preface===		It's important to note that the work is often published in two volumes. The first volume is the original 1878 book. The second volume typically combines two later works, Assorted Opinions and Maxims (1879) and The Wanderer and His Shadow (1880), which Nietzsche intended as continuations.

			Volume I: Human, All Too Human (1878)

			* Preface (Added later, outlines the book's context and intent)
			* First Division: Of First and Last Things
			* Second Division: On the History of Moral Feelings
			* Third Division: The Religious Life
			* Fourth Division: From the Soul of Artists and Writers
			* Fifth Division: Signs of Higher and Lower Culture
			* Sixth Division: Man in Society
			* Seventh Division: Woman and Child
			* Eighth Division: A Look at the State
			* Ninth Division: Man Alone with Himself
			* Aftersong: From High Mountains (Added later, often serves as an epilogue)

			Volume II (Combining the sequels):

			* Part One: Assorted Opinions and Maxims (Vermischte Meinungen und Sprüche, 1879) - This part doesn't have named chapters like Volume I but consists of a numbered sequence of 408 aphorisms
			* Part Two: The Wanderer and His Shadow (Der Wanderer und sein Schatten, 1880) - Similar to Assorted Opinions and Maxims, this part consists of a numbered sequence of 350 aphorisms without distinct chapter titles

Nietzsche answers that almost immediately, in section 2 of the preface: he is dedicating the book to "free spirits."

			He spends much of the book talking about how free spirits think and behave, what shapes them and what drives them. But he begins the book, in the Preface, by attempting to explain what a free spirit is. And he begins that explanation with an explanation of how free spirits are born (what he calls the great separation):

 It is also a disease that can destroy a person, this first outburst of strength and will to self-determination, self-valorisation, this will to ''free'' will: and how much disease is expressed by the wild attempts and peculiarities with which the freed person, the separated person, now tries to prove their rule over things!

			Thus I invented, when I needed them, the "free spirits" too, to whom this heavyhearted-stouthearted book with the title ''Human, All-Too-Human'' is dedicated. There are no such "free spirits", were none - but, as I said, I needed their company at the time, to be of good cheer in the midst of bad things (illness, isolation, foreignness, sloth, inactivity); as brave fellows and spectres to chat and laugh with, when one feels like chatting and laughing, and whom one sends to hell when they get boring - as reparation for lacking friends.

			Love is foolish, and possesses a horn of plenty; from it she dispenses her gifts to everyone, even if he does not deserve them, indeed, even if he does not thank her or them. She is as non-partisan as rain, which (according to the Bible and to experience) rains not only upon the unjust, but sometimes soaks the just man to the skin, too.
