Beyond Good and Evil

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Zimmern, Helen

Thomas Common

One of the most serious, profound, and original philosophical works, "Beyond Good and Evil" offers a feast of good things to the morally and intellectually fastidious. Nietzsche takes a firm stand on the genuine "good" and the genuine "bad" which promotes the advancement of the human race.

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.
