What Is Good and Evil?

Bys: Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche and Horace Barnett Samuel

"What Is Good and Evil?" presents the profound and provocative ethical inquiries of Friedrich Nietzsche, one of the most influential thinkers of the nineteenth century. This work explores the fundamental origins of morality, challenging traditional distinctions between "good" and "evil" while examining how these concepts have been constructed by society and religion. Nietzsche critiques the "slave morality" of modern culture and advocates for a revaluation of all values, urging the individual to transcend inherited dogmas in favor of personal excellence and the "will to power."

Translated by Horace Barnett Samuel, this volume offers readers an accessible entry point into Nietzsche's complex philosophical system. It delves into the psychology of human behavior, the role of instinct versus reason, and the historical development of ethical systems. By dissecting the prejudices of philosophers and the constraints of conventional virtue, Nietzsche encourages a more authentic and vigorous way of living. "What Is Good and Evil?" remains a vital text for anyone seeking to understand the foundations of existentialism and the evolution of modern thought.
