«Ecce Homo / El anticristo» is the philosophy book by Friedrich Nietzsche that brings together his two works, published by Edicomunicacion in hardcover (255 pages).
The volume brings together two late texts by Nietzsche. In «Ecce Homo», the philosopher reviews his life and thought in a vindicatory tone. «El Anticristo» is a critique of Christianity and traditional morality, in which Nietzsche sets out his idea of the superman. Both texts, written in 1888, show his aphoristic and polemical style.
The original editions of «El Anticristo» and «Ecce Homo» appeared in 1895 and 1908, respectively. The Spanish edition of this volume is from 1999.
Work for philosophy readers and for those who wish to discover Nietzsche's polemical writings.
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.
