Nietzsche's Ethics and Literary Studies: A Reading of Ecce Homo

David Parker

the Chinese University of Hong Kong

Postmodernist theorists of the 1970s and 1980s such as Fredric Jameson dismissed ethical interests in literature as false consciousness, appealing to Nietszche's historicism in The Genealogy of Morals. This reading of Nietzsche's autobiography Ecce Homo supports more recent research showing that his famous attack on morality was actually ethically driven. The implication of this argument is that there is reason to take another look at the relationship between ethics and literature.
