Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher, representative of the “philosophy of life,” and one of the most original thinkers of the 19th century.The text of Ecce homo is based on a short self-description created during two weeks in the fall of 1888, when Nietzsche, as he wrote in a letter, “accomplished the immensely difficult task of telling himself, his books, his views…. his life.” The text was then revised, supplemented by the author, and work on it continued throughout the short span of his remaining conscious life, but was never finished. Nevertheless, the significance and relative wholeness of this work allows us to consider it a completed work, albeit at the very edge.
