Ecce Homo Complete Works, Volume Seventeen

by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

"Ecce Homo" by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche is a philosophical autobiography written in 1888. In this provocative final work, Nietzsche offers his own interpretation of his life, philosophy, and significance through boldly titled chapters like "Why I Am So Wise" and "Why I Write Such Good Books." He reviews his major works, presents a new image of the Dionysian philosopher, and challenges Christianity's morality. Written with characteristic hyperbole and self-conscious irony, the book puts Nietzsche himself on trial while declaring his vision for humanity's future.
