„lisez: Nietzsche“. Anmerkungen zu Nietzsches letztem Buch

Abstract “lisez: Nietzsche”. Remarks on Nietzsche’s Last Book. From the perspective of textual criticism, Nietzsche’s last book Ecce Homo – written in 1888, but published for the first time only in 1908 – is as ambiguous as it is controversial. Although Nietzsche completed Ecce Homo , a close reading that focuses on his writing strategies reveals a more fragmentary status. As such, Ecce Homo continues to provide complex editorial and philological problems that undercut any straightforward reading of the book: focusing on Ecce Homo’ s paratext highlights how Nietzsche reads himself, thus complicating the relationship between his writings and their reception.
