Synopsis

Ecce homo, behold the man, are the words Friedrich Nietzsche chose as the title for his literary selfportrait. 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 for imperialism, antiSemitism, 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.

"فأنا أحمل على كتفيّ قدَر الإنسانيّة." "أعرف قدري.. ذات يوم سيقترن اسمي بذكرى شيء هائل رهيب؛ بأزمه لم يُعرف لها مثيل علي وجه الارض، أعمق رجة في الوعي... فأنا لست إنسانًا، بل عبوة ديناميت. لا أتحدّث البتّة إلى كتلة الجماهير... وأشد ما يخيفني هو أن يكرّسني الناس ذات يوم كقداسة: بإمكان المرء أن يخمّن ال......more

I was once asked, if I could meet and have a conversation with one writer/poet/philosopher of any era, dead or alive, whom would I choose? The answer was and always has been Nietzsche. I would sit down and have a hell of a talk with the guy, although, I'm sure, we would end up with our hands on each......more
