Nietzsche's Legacy : "Ecce Homo" and "The Antichrist," Two Books on Nature and Politics by Heinrich Meier

A reappraisal of?Ecce Homo?and?The?Antichrist?within Nietzsche's oeuvre. Nietzsche's Legacy?takes on the most challenging and?misunderstood works in Nietzsche's oeuvre to illuminate his view of what a?philosopher is?and what constitutes a philosophic life. Interpreting?Ecce?Homo?and?The Antichrist?as twin books meant to?replace the abandoned?Will to Power?project, Heinrich Meier?recovers them from the stigma of Nietzsche's late mental collapse, showing that these works are, above?all, a lucid self-assessment. The carefully written pair contains both the highest affirmation-the Yes of the "revaluation of all values"-and the most resolute negation-the No to Christianity. How the Yes and the No go together, how the relation between nature and politics is to be determined, how Nietzsche's intention is governing the political-philosophical double-face: this is the subject of?Nietzsche's Legacy, which opens up a new understanding of Nietzsche's philosophy as a whole.
