DescriptionPresents Nietzsche's singular autobiography, which sets out the story of his life in bizarre and provocative fashion yet remains key to an understanding of his work. Composed in 1888; first published in German 1908 as Ecce Homo; this edition 2009. Author descriptionFriedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) was the son of a Lutheran pastor who challenged Christian morality and values. Nietzsche believed in the realities of the world we live in rather than those in a world beyond. His philosophy centred on the idea of 'self-affirmation' which involved a radical re-assessment of the value and objectivity of truth. |
