Nietzsche-Kommentar: 'Der Antichrist', 'Ecce homo', 'Dionysos-Dithyramben' und 'Nietzsche contra Wagner'

The last posthumous manuscripts from 1888 bear witness to an enormous stylistic and intellectual radicalization. The Antichrist purports to be a total “reevaluation of all values.” In Ecce homo, Nietzsche explores the genealogy of his own thinking, opening up new dimensions of self-reflection. Nietzsche contra Wagner sums up the many years of Nietzsche’s continuing critique of Wagner, while the Dionysian Dithyrambs seek to breathe new life into lyric poetry.
