«Ecce homo» is the philosophical and autobiographical essay by Friedrich Nietzsche, published by Newton Compton Editori in paperback (96 pages, in Italian).
Nietzsche presents himself to his readers and reviews his life and intellectual trajectory. With an ironic and provocative tone, he explains how one becomes what one is, analyses his earlier writings (Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, On the Genealogy of Morality) and defends his own philosophy against the culture of his time.
Complete edition, with an introduction by Aldo Venturelli, in the Tascabili Economici Newton collection. Work written in 1888 and originally published in 1908.
For philosophy readers and for those who want to understand Nietzsche's thought explained by the author himself.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German philosopher and writer who started his career as a classical philologist and turned to philosophy early in his academic career. In 1869, at age 24, he was appointed Professor of Classical Philology at the University of Basel. Plagued by health problems for most of his life, he resigned from the university in 1879. He afterward lived as an independent writer, spending much of his life in relative solitude and financial insecurity while moving between Switzerland, Italy, and southern France in search of climates that might alleviate his condition, and in the following decade, he completed much of his core writing. In 1889, aged 44, he suffered a neurological collapse, and thereafter a complete loss of his mental faculties, with paralysis and vascular dementia; he lived out his remaining 11 years, first under the care of his mother, and later his sister, until his death. His works and his philosophy have fostered not only extensive scholarship but also much popular interest.
