Nietzsche makes self-deception a reality through the error of truth. Like Pirsig ’s puzzling drive for truth‚ it is Nietzsche ’s drive for truth that actually facilitates self-deception.

    Ecce Homo by Nietzsche is ironically a reflection of himself. It is extremely sarcastic and is a reflection of himself as a writer and philosopher in a self-deprecatory manner .

Likewise Nietzsche is giving himself up to his readers and
