Description

That which is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil’

Beyond Good and Evil confirmed Nietzsche’s position as the towering European philosopher of his age. The work dramatically rejects traditional Western thought with its notions of truth and God, good and evil. Nietzsche seeks to demonstrate that the Christian world is steeped in a false pietyand infected with a ‘slave morality’. With wit and energy, he turns from his critique to a philosphy that celebrates the present and demands that the individual impose 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 spme of the more abstract passages in Beyond Good and Evil.

About the Author

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) was born near Leipzig in 1844. When he was only twenty-four he was appointed to the chair of classical philology at Basel University. Works published in the 1880s include The Gay Science, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, On the Genealogy of Morals, Twilight of the Idols and The Antichrist. In January 1889, Nietzsche collapsed on a street in Turin and was subsequently institutionalized, spending the rest of his life in a condition of mental and physical paralysis. Works published after his death in 1900 include Will to Power, based on his notebooks, and Ecce Homo, his autobiography.
