Ecce Homo

by Friedrich Nietzsche

Overview

In late 1888, only weeks before his final collapse into madness, Nietzsche (1844-1900) set out to trace his development of a tragic philosopher. He examined the heroes he has identified with, struggled against and then overcome - Schopenhauer, Wagner, Socrates, Christ - he predicts the cataclysmic impact of his forthcoming revaluation of all values, and he gives final, definitive expression to all his main beliefs.

Editorial Reviews

Nietzsche had an unusual capacity for bringing his life and work clearly before the eyes of others. Ecce Homo is the final testimony to his gift of his, the last link in a long chain of introspective development.”

Nietzsche scholar Richard Oehler

Nietzsche presents himself not as a person, but as an explosive force fomented within the belly of European culture. Ecce Homo bears witness to Nietzsche’s destruction of himself that he might release a capacity to deconstruct (or revalue) all values.”

Dead Letters to Nietzsche Joanne Faulkner

[A] fateful intellectual biography.”

Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy

A fantastic piece of self-celebration…Nietzsche deliberately aggrandizes himself, not in order to impress us, but precisely so that we will not take his self-presentation so seriously. Through exaggeration and hyperbole…he offers us a self-portrait that calls itself into question at the same time that it focuses our attention.”

Nietzsche and the Problem of Sovereignty Richard J. White

Nietzsche’s somewhat narcissitic concern is his own enormous sense of potential and the grave responsibility it engenders. But it also becomes our concern, and…means taking our own potential—and our responsibility for that potential—seriously. And if Nietzsche sometimes describes all of this a bit pretentiously as a ‘destiny,’ then that underscores not only his fatalism but also his existential resolve.”
