Abstract
Evangelou situates Nietzsche’s Ecce Homo within the philosopher’s wider conceptual framework. Continuing from the previous chapter, Chap. 2 offers a valuable outline of Nietzsche’s key philosophical concepts which are essential for one’s grasp of his understanding of and attitude toward the relation between life and work, and toward madness. Evangelou focuses on Nietzsche’s evaluation of the conditions of sickness and health, the concepts of intuition, necessity, amor fati, becoming, his praise of contradiction and multiplicity, as well as his use of ‘masks’.
