More about the book

Exploring the genre of philosophical autobiographies, J. Lenore Wright analyzes five key works, including Augustine's Confessions and Nietzsche's Ecce Homo. She highlights how these philosophers employ first-person narration to introspectively apply their analytical skills to their own lives. Wright posits that philosophical autobiography is essential for philosophical analysis, intertwining the exploration of essence and identity with questions of existence through her distinction between ontological and rhetorical dimensions of the self.
