Beyond Good and Evil

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Richard S. Hartmetz

Nietzsche at his best, rejecting Western traditions of truth and God; good and evil. He demonstrates how the Christian world is infected with a "slave morality" and steeped in false piety, all with energy and wit, suggesting that individuals can exert their own will upon the world. Join us for a critique of philosophy, religion, science, politics and ethics, from one of the most influential philosophers of the modern age.

Notă biografică

Friedrich Nietzsche, (born October 15, 1844, Röcken, Saxony, Prussia [Germany]-died August 25, 1900, Weimar, Thuringian States), German classical scholar, philosopher, and critic of culture, who became one of the most influential of all modern thinkers. His attempts to unmask the motives that underlie traditional Western religion, morality, and philosophy deeply affected generations of theologians, philosophers, psychologists, poets, novelists, and playwrights. He thought through the consequences of the triumph of the Enlightenment's secularism, expressed in his observation that "God is dead," in a way that determined the agenda for many of Europe's most-celebrated intellectuals after his death. Although he was an ardent foe of nationalism, anti-Semitism, and power politics, his name was later invoked by fascists to advance the very things he loathed.
