About this listen

The Antichrist and Ecce Homo were two of the last works written by Friedrich Nietzsche just before his mental collapse in 1889. Though both written in 1888, they are very different in content and style.

In The Antichrist, Nietzsche expands on his view that the submissive nature of Christianity undermined Western society, depressing and sapping energy. Using a challenging, aphoristic style, he considers 'good' and 'bad', Buddhism and Christianity, and criticises the concepts of sin, faith, and pity as proposed in the Christian tradition, declaring that they undermined a zest for life.

Ecce Homo is effectively Nietzsche's autobiography. Writing in his idiosyncratic, urgent manner, he focuses on carefully chosen topics as he reviews his life and work. Among the chapter headings are: 'Why I Am so Wise' and 'Why I Am so Clever'. But like so much of Nietzsche, the effect is not quite as bombastic as might be expected - it is a fascinating document.

Nietzsche's books are really complex & his writing takes a lot of time to really sink in. I wouldn't recommend listening to his audiobook - instead, get a paperback & read it slowly (and repeatedly). Not something suited to an audiobook I don't think.


You're far better off taking the time to read it

Heavy going and sometimes self-described work by the man.
I can see where a person such as Hitler would have adored these works, but there is a conflict in that statement, as Neitzshe was not antisemiti , indeed, quite the opposite, so where Hitler picked up his hatred for News must be in other people's writing.
Altogether I enjoyed this book but I could have given this man many counter- arguments against some of his philosphies.
