Friedrich Nietzsche's intellectual autobiography Ecce Homo has
always been a controversial book. Nietzsche prepared it for
publication just before he became incurably insane in early 1889,
but it was held back until after his death, and finally appeared
only in 1908. For much of the first century of its reception, Ecce
Homo met with a sceptical response and was viewed as merely a
testament to its author's incipient madness. This was hardly
surprising, since he is deliberately outrageous with the
'megalomaniacal' self-advertisement of his chapter titles, and
brazenly claims 'I am not a man, I am dynamite' as he attempts to
explode one preconception after another in the Western
philosophical tradition. In recent decades there has been increased
interest in the work, especially in the English-speaking world, but
the present volume is the first collection of essays in any
language devoted to the work. Most of the essays are selected from
the proceedings of an international conference held in London to
mark the centenary of the first publication of Ecce Homo in 2008.
They are supplemented by a number of specially commissioned essays.
Contributors include established and emerging Nietzsche scholars
from the UK and USA, Germany and France, Portugal, Sweden and the
Netherlands.
