hi
In this video, I'm gonna talk about this book
entitled Ecce Homo
by Friedrich Nietzsche
Nietzsche through Ecce Homo
First of all how do you pronounce Ecce Homo?
I hope I'm not mistaken
There are like a dozen of ways to pronounce
Ecce Homo I found on Youtube
I chose Google Translate's way
"Etche homo"
If we are acquainted, you may have known
that Friedrich Nietzsche is my favorite philosopher
I have attempted some books by Nietzsche before
Such as Schopenhauer as Educator,
Thus Spoke Zarathustra,
and recently, THE GAY SCIENCE
I think Nietzsche has a very unique style
He binges on rhetoric, such as metaphor,
which makes his works difficult to comprehend.
Those who read without paying close attention
either misinterpret Nietzsche
or (most of the time) do not understand at all.
Many historians, etc misinterpret Nietzsche,
hence associate Nietzsche to Nazi
or nihilism
Being passionate about Nietzsche's philosophy
and having looked into it for about 2 years,
I have always wondered if there is a way
to approach Nietzsche that is not misleading.
I have found the answer in this book.
Nietzsche's purpose in this book
 is to explain his own previous works
In Ecco Homo, Nietzsche is super merciful
to readers
He wrote in a simpler manner than in other works
while maintaining the rhetoric element
Here are some common misunderstandings
when it comes to Nietzsche
First of all, some people think he is Nazi
HE IS NOT
Should they read Ecce Homo, they will see
that Nietzsche kept repeating
that he dislikes German people
and the country itself.
Then how come is he a Nazi?
Nietzsche thinks the Jews are smart.
He does not dislike the Jews.
I intended to address nihilism here but excluded
for it is not in Ecce Homo.
Another controversial aspect of Nietzsche
is his view on women.
After reading Ecce Homo, I encapsulate
Nietzsche's view on women as follows:
He admits that women are smart,
even smarter than men,
but he also said women are dangerous (lol @arianagrande)
because they are mischievous
This cannot be inferred to any absolute
conclusion on whether Nietzsche is misogynic
What is interesting about Ecce Homo is that
it sounds SUPER ARROGANT
Let me read aloud the names of the 4 chapters
in Ecce Homo
Chapter 1:
Why I am so wise
Chapter 2: Why I am so clever
Chapter 3:
Why I write such excellent books
Chapter 4:
Why I am destiny
He does not hesitate to praise himself.
To sum up this video
the most creditable short route to 
Nietzsche's philosophy is Ecce Homo
Read Ecce Homo!
You thought the video would end like that?
