Ecce homo: how one becomes what one is

"Ecce Homo. How One Becomes What One Is" is one of Friedrich Nietzsche's most provocative and self-revealing books. Here, the thinker polemicizes against traditional morality, criticizes idealism, spirit, and God, offering a radically new perspective on human essence. This is not only a philosophical manifesto but also a concise autobiographical overview of his own work, where Nietzsche analyzes his main works and defines his own mission in the history of thought. The edition is enriched with an essay by V. Akudovich and a glossary of terms, making the book particularly convenient for anyone interested in philosophy and cultural history.

In his book "Ecce Homo," which can be translated from Latin as "Behold the man" (words supposedly uttered by Pontius Pilate about Jesus Christ), the German thinker and writer Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 – 1900) fiercely polemicizes against morality, idealism, the soul, spirit, free will, and even God. Here he proclaims his wisdom, which includes the thesis that it has never been found, but must always be sought. The book also provides a concise author's overview of his most important creative output. This edition also includes a fragment of an essay by the contemporary Belarusian thinker and writer V. Akudovich on F. Nietzsche and a glossary of terms from philosophy, religion, aesthetics, and psychology used by the author of "Ecce Homo." It is addressed to all who are interested in classical philosophy.
