何についての本か
『この人を見よ』（一八八八年）。自伝であり、章の題は「なぜ私はこんなに賢明なのか」「なぜ私はこんなに良い本を書くのか」。
背景と歴史
題は誇大妄想に見えるし、半分はそのとおりでもある——崩壊の直前に書かれた——が、この本は同時に、彼自身の仕事についての現存する最良の案内でもある。一冊ずつ順に、自分が何をしようとしたのかを言っている。明晰さと錯乱が同居していることが、この本を忘れがたいものにしている。 オスカー・レヴィ編の全集（一九〇九—一九一三年）からの英訳で、パブリックドメインにあるものである。一世紀以上前のもので、それは読めばわかる。原文はドイツ語であり、引用は原文によるべきである。目録にあるドイツ語の原本は『ツァラトゥストラはこう言った』と『権力への意志』の二つだけで、ほかは翻訳しかない。

As it is my intention within a very short time to confront my fellow-men with the very greatest demand that has ever yet been made upon them, it seems to me _above_ all necessary to declare here who and what I am. As a matter of fact, this ought to be pretty well known already, for I have not "held my tongue" about myself. But the disparity which obtains between the greatness of my task and the smallness of my contemporaries, is revealed by the fact that people have neither heard me nor yet seen me. I live on my own self-made credit, and it is probably only a prejudice to suppose that I am alive at all. I do but require to speak to any one of the scholars who come to the Ober-Engadine in the summer in order to convince myself that I am _not_ alive.... Under these circumstances, it is a duty--and one against which my customary reserve, and to a still greater degree the pride of my instincts, rebel--to say: _Listen! for I am such and such a person. For Heaven's sake do not confound me with any one else!_ I am, for instance, in no wise a bogey man, or moral monster. On the contrary, I am the very opposite in nature to the kind of man that has been honoured hitherto as virtuous. Between ourselves, it seems to me that this is precisely a matter on which I may feel proud. I am a disciple of the philosopher Dionysus, and I would prefer to be even a satyr than a saint. But just read this book! Maybe I have here succeeded in expressing this contrast in a cheerful and at the same time sympathetic manner--maybe this is the only purpose of the present work. The very last thing I should promise to accomplish would be to "improve" mankind. I do not set up any new idols; may old idols only learn what it costs to have legs of clay. To overthrow idols (idols is the name I give to all ideals) is much more like my business.…
