Ecce Homo

Ecce Homois an autobiography like no other. Deliberately provocative, Nietzsche subverts the conventions of the genre and pushes his philosophical positions to combative extremes, constructing a genius-hero whose life is a chronicle of incessant self-overcoming. Written in 1888, a few weeks before his descent into madness, the book sub-titled How To Become What You Are passes under review all Nietzsches previous works so that we, his posthumous readers, can finally understand him aright, on his own terms. He reaches final reckonings with his many enemies - Richard Wagner, German nationalism, modern men in general - and above all Christianity, proclaiming himself the Antichrist.Ecce Homois the summation of an extraordinary philosophical career, a last great testament to Nietzsches will.
