Friedrich Nietzsche is a German philosopher, a representative of the “philosophy of life”, one of the most original thinkers of the 19th century. The text “Ecce homo” is based on a short self-description created during two weeks in the autumn of 1888, when Nietzsche, as he wrote in a letter, “carried out an incredibly difficult task - to tell about himself, his books, his views ... his life.” Then the text was revised and supplemented by the author, work on it continued throughout the short period of his remaining conscious life, but was never completed. Nevertheless, the significance and relative integrity of this work still allows us to consider it, albeit on the very edge, as a completed work.
