Friedrich Nietzsche | "Ecce Homo"
- In late 1888, only
weeks before his final collapse into madness, Nietzsche (1844-1900) set
out to compose his autobiography, and Ecce Homo remains one of the most
intriguing yet bizarre examples of the genre ever written. In this
extraordinary work Nietzsche traces his life, work and development as a
philosopher, examines the heroes he has identified with, struggled
against and then overcome - Schopenhauer, Wagner, Socrates, Christ - and
predicts the cataclysmic impact of his 'forthcoming revelation of all
values'. Both self-celebrating and self-mocking, penetrating and
strange, Ecce Homo gives the final, definitive expression to Nietzsche's
main beliefs and is in every way his last testament.
