I’ll have to check out Ecce Homo - sometimes the best writing is after someone loses his/her mind.

To be honest, I have had trouble getting past Heidegger being a Nazi thing. That, and I don't really like his work. He stabbed other philosophers in the back, like Nietzsche and Husserl. Nietzsche's work was stolen by the Nazi's, even though few of them ever read it -- and if they understood it, they would never have made him the official party philosopher. The most f-ed up thing is that Heidegger understood Nietzsche and let them do it. He did write four books about Nietzsche to try and make up for it later, but they were really just Heidegger. My prof told me that when someone asked Heidegger how he could write about Nietzsche's Eternal Return so badly in one book, Martin replied, "This is terrible Nietzsche, but it is excellent Heidegger!" Punk! :) Ecce Homo is my favorite Nietzsche book, though there are those that would say he was crazy by the time he wrote it, lol.

I was pretty moody at the time, so I didn't finish. It was sort of on the tail end of my 8-year long attempt to read up philosophy/theory, right before I had my virtual lobotomy and started only reading short stories... I read a fair amount of Deleuze and poststructuralist, Lacanian, post-modernist junk, but it tended to make my head spin more than anything. I still haven't tried to read Heidegger (when I bought Being and Time, a friend leaned over and said, "you know, he was a Nazi..."), but I'd like to give it a whirl. Anyway, the whole "Nietzsche was a Nazi" thing reminded me of that moment. Then he said, "not that that means you shouldn't read it..." People... I tried to read Zarathustra last year.
