Beyond Good and Evil

By Friedrich Nietzsche, Frederich Nietzsche, Friedrich Neitzsche, et al.

Book Overview

Beyond Good and Evil confirmed Nietzsche's position as the towering European philosopher of his age.

This work dramatically rejects the tradition of Western thought with its notions of truth and God, good and evil. Nietzsche demonstrates that the Christian world is steeped in a false piety and infected with a 'slave morality'.

With wit and energy, he turns from this critique to a philosophy that celebrates the present and demands that the individual imposes their own 'will to power' upon the world. This edition includes a commentary on the text by the translator and Michael Tanner's introduction, which explains some of the more abstract passages in Beyond Good and Evil.

Customer Reviews

Manifesto of hatred

Nietzsche lays out in explicit detail his belief that marginalized groups must suffer and live in a perpetual underclass in order for society to function. His hatred of women and labor rights is palpable. This is the most vulgar thing I have ever laid eyes on next to Mein Kamph
