Friedrich Nietzsche’s thought journey began long before its first seminal culmination in The Birth of Tragedy, going back to age fourteen when young Fritz wrote his first autobiography on the eve of his entry into Schulpforta boarding school. In his early writings, the budding philosopher symbiotically leveraged his experiences, studies, relationships, and nascent ideas towards fashioning, one brushstroke at a time, the eternal work of art, himself. This book locates the self-reflexive form of Fritz’s youthful writings as the inception of the introspective perspective that would be fully realized in his later works, especially in his last book Ecce Homo.
