Brobjer provides an original and detailed analysis of \u003ci\u003eEcce Homo\u003c\/i\u003e as fundamental to Nietzsche's unfinished masterwork on the revaluation of all values.Arguing that \u003ci\u003eEcce Homo \u003c\/i\u003elaid the foundations for his planned four-volume work on values, Brobjer draws together the intentions and motivations behind Nietzsche's late work to create a new narrative on it. He situates this period in the desire to undermine the system of Christian values that Nietzsche believed were unchecked as the standard moral gauge for his time. To engage in this project, Brobjer shows that it was essential for Nietzsche to explore the self and life-denying qualities of a Christian system of values within a broader framework of ideas about morality, altruism, egotism, pessimism, humility and pride.By fully outlining the context of \u003ci\u003eEcce Homo\u003c\/i\u003e, Brobjer provides a complete c\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThomas Brobjer’s book on \u003ci\u003eEcce homo\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eEcce homo\u003c\/i\u003e 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 *\u003cbr\u003eBrobjer 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 *\u003cbr\u003eThis book.. heralds a great future for Nietzsche scholarship, for what it calls and awakens a hunger for is the revaluation of both the \u003ci\u003eNachlass\u003c\/i\u003e and Nietzsche’s final two books. -- Charles P.
