Nietzsche's Legacy : "Ecce Homo" and "the Antichrist," Two Books on Nature and Politics

Ecce Homo and The Antichrist address the interrelated questions of what a philosopher is and what constitutes a philosophic life. Nietzsche's Legacy conceives of these twin books as the late major work that is meant to take the place of the Will to Power, a project Nietzsche had come to reject. The pair concludes his ¶uvre by both enacting the highest affirmation, the revaluation of all values," and the most resolute negation, the sharpest criticism to which a philosopher has subjected Christianity. Yet in both books, Nietzsche is interested above all in the nature of the philosopher. How the Yes and the No go together, how to determine the relation between nature and politics, how Nietzsche's intention governs the political-philosophical double-face: this is the subject of Nietzsche's Legacy, which advances a new view of Nietzsche's philosophy as a whole"--
