Thomas Brobjer’s book on Ecce homo presents Nietzsche’s autogenealogy in a provocative new way. It is a challenge particularly for Anglophone Nietzsche scholars engaged in rather scholastic debates. The study demonstrates how Ecce homo is intended to prepare Nietzsche’s late main project of a “transvaluation of all values” (“Umwerthung aller Werthe”) and how this project has to be reconsidered. * Andreas Urs Sommer, Professor of Philosophy and Executive Director of the Nietzsche Research Center, University of Freiburg, Germany * Brobjer avoids dichotomising between Ecce Homo as autobiography and as a philosophical work, recognising the interconnection between Nietzsche’s life and philosophy. Employing thorough analysis of letters and drafts, Brobjer takes a distinctive approach to Ecce Homo as preparing a revaluation of values, while advancing important reflections on the symbol of Dionysius. * Katrina Mitcheson, Senior Lecturer in Philosophy, University of the West of England, UK * This book.. heralds a great future for Nietzsche scholarship, for what it calls and awakens a hunger for is the revaluation of both the Nachlass and Nietzsche’s final two books. -- Charles P. Rodger * Journal of the History of Philosophy *
