Abstract

This article examines some of Nietzsche's final travels, particularly his final visits to and stays in Turin, where he suffered the collapse that ended his philosophical career. The aim of this exploration of the philosopher's biography, as well as his manuscripts and letters from the period, is to assess the extent to which the philosophical project he was developing at the time was compromised by his illness. In view of this context and with a particular focus on Ecce Homo, the aim is to present the hypothesis that this work would  not manifestations of the philosopher's illness, but, on the contrary, an expressions of an overflowing life, which would be preserved, from then on, however, no longer as a body, but as a corpus.
