A reappraisal of-Ecce Homo-and-The-Antichrist-within Nietzsche-s oeuvre. Nietzsche's Legacy-takes on the most challenging and-misunderstood works in Nietzsche-s oeuvre to illuminate his view of what a-philosopher is-and what constitutes a philosophic life. Interpreting-Ecce-Homo-and-The Antichrist-as twin books meant to-replace the abandoned-Will to Power-project, Heinrich Meier-recovers them from the stigma of Nietzsche-s late mental collapse, showing that these works are, above-all, a lucid self-assessment. The carefully written pair contains both the highest affirmation-the Yes of the -revaluation of all values--and the most resolute negation-the No to Christianity. How the Yes and the No go together, how the relation between nature and politics is to be determined, how Nietzsche-s intention is governing the political-philosophical double-face: this is the subject of-Nietzsche-s Legacy, which opens up a new understanding of Nietzsche-s philosophy as a whole.
