Nietzsche's break from his Schopenhauer-Wagner period — a series of aphorisms applying a 'chemistry of concepts' to morality, religion, and culture to reveal their all-too-human origins.
The free spirit: the person who has liberated themselves from metaphysical comforts and conventional morality. Historical philosophy: applying historical and psychological analysis to decompose the apparently eternal categories of morality and religion. The 'chemistry of moral sensations': every high value has a low origin — morality, religion, and art can be traced to human, all too human, drives. The break from Romanticism: dedicated to Voltaire.
