Beyond Good and Evil

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

Book Overview

Beyond Good and Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future is a book by philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, first published in 1886. It draws on and expands the ideas of his previous work, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, but with a more critical and polemical approach. In Beyond Good and Evil, Nietzsche accuses past philosophers of lacking critical sense and blindly accepting dogmatic premises in their consideration of morality. Specifically, he accuses them of founding grand metaphysical systems upon the faith that the good man is the opposite of the evil man, rather than just a different expression of the same basic impulses that find more direct expression in the evil man. The work moves into the realm "beyond good and evil" in the sense of leaving behind the traditional morality which Nietzsche subjects to a destructive critique in favour of what he regards as an affirmative approach that fearlessly confronts the perspectival nature of knowledge and the perilous condition of the modern individual.

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
