About this listen

 Ecce homo, "behold the man", are the words Friedrich Nietzsche chose as the title for his literary self-portrait. A main purpose of the book was to offer Nietzsche's own perspective on his work as a philosopher and human being.

Ecce Homo also forcefully repudiates those interpretations of his previous works purporting to find support there for imperialism, anti-Semitism, militarism, and Social Darwinism.

Nietzsche strives to present a new image of the philosopher and of himself as a philosopher. He expounds upon his life as a child, his tastes as an individual, and his vision for humanity. On these grounds, some consider Ecce Homo a literary work comparable in its artistry to Van Gogh's paintings.

Not a clear rendering of his philosophy but an endless retelling of his work from the point of view of someone who thought themselves to be the greatest philosopher of all time. Avoid, no gold here.

Boring, pointless and self-serving. I like his work but this is nonsense

If delusions of grandeur were a book
