Prologue; Part I. What is Ecce Homo?: Introduction; 1. Nietzsche deigns to read himself; 2. A question of genre; Part II. What is the Meaning of Ecce Homo?: 3. Ecce Homo as satire: analysis and commentary; Part III. What is the Significance of Ecce Homo?: Conclusion.
This book demonstrates that Nietzsche's autobiographical and much-maligned Ecce Homo is a sophisticated satire by which the thinker unifies his disparate corpus.
Nicholas D. More is Professor of Philosophy at Westminster College, Utah.
'This book-length study of Nietzsche's final book, his venture into autobiography, mounts a persuasive argument. More demonstrates not only that Ecce Homo, that problematic stepchild of Nietzsche studies (by turns and at once, self-glorifying and self-parodying), is a masterful work of satire, but that all of Nietzsche's corpus after Die Geburt der Tragödie can effectively and profitably be read, following the lead of this final book, as satire …' Daniel T. O'Hara, German Quarterly
