Other editions of book Beyond Good and Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future

German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche was one the most controversial figures of the 19th century. His evocative writings on religion, morality, culture, philosophy, and science were often polemic attacks against the established views of his time. Nietzsche demonstrates that the Christian world is steeped in a false piety and infected with a 'slave morality'. With wit and energy, he turns from this critique to a philosophy that celebrates the present and demands that the individual imposes their own 'will to power' upon the world. As he asserts, the initial form of morality arises from the warrior nature of the ruling castes of ancient civilizations, who viewed themselves as good because of their wealth and power in contrast to the weakness of those that they enslaved.

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.

Beyond Good and Evil gives profound insight into the personal philosophies of one of history's greats, Friedrich Nietzsche. Within the work, first published in 1886, you'll find close to 300 of Nietzsche's aphorisms, organized by theme and spanning nine chapters. Nietzsche begins his work by stating that all philosophies are nothing more than the complex personal opinions by the philosophers that put them forth, and that it's the listener's responsibility to weed out the subjective from the true philosophy. Some of Nietzsche's thoughts and theories provide the cornerstones of philosophical and sociological thought. One of the better known theories is the "will to power," the idea that all humans possess an inherent sense of ambition and the desire to strive for success. Throughout the rest of the work, Nietzsche speaks at length regarding dogmatism and religion, our system of moral codes, and the extent to which strength can be equated with cruelty, nationalism, and race. He also dives into his musings on what makes a human being noble.

Beyond good and evil is the transition from the middle, rather poetic and positive period of Nietzsche's creation, to his later work dominated by philosophical thought. Prehistoric times it was thought that actions were judged according to their effect. Morality came only when actions were judged according to their intention. Nietzsche's demand was to return to the perspective of pre-moral time. He sought a morality beyond existing norms and values, which is not linked to the historical tradition influenced by religion. Its counterproposal is a novel philosophy of "immorality", which is linked to the respective perspectives of man.

In Beyond Good and Evil, Friedrich indicts former philosophers of wanting analytical sense and irrationally taking dogmatic foundations in their deliberation of integrity. In particular, he indicts them of making great metaphysical systems upon the belief that the good man is the reverse of the wicked man, other than only a distinct example of the same necessary pressures that find more express example in the wicked man. The account travels into the demesne "beyond good and evil" in the impression of forgetting the conventional mores which Friedrich focuses to a harsh criticism in preference of what he considers as a positive move that bravely provokes the standpoint of the nature of facts and the unsafe state of the current people. Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German philosopher, cultural critic, poet, philologist, and Latin and Greek scholar whose profession has utilized a great effect on Western philosophy and present day academic history. He started his profession as a classical philologist before concentrating to philosophy. He was the youngest to have the Chair of Classical Philology at the University of Basel in 1869, at the age of 24. His career were largely on art, philology, history, religion, tragedy, culture, and science, and drew primary influence from personages including Schopenhauer, Wagner, and Goethe. His work crosses philosophical polemics, poetry, cultural criticism, and fiction while showing an attachment for aphorism and irony. A few conspicuous features of his philosophy contain his pervasive criticism of certainty in favor of perspectivism; his genealogical criticism of faith and Christian values, and his associated philosophy of master–slave principle; his aesthetic assertion of subsistence in answer to the "death of God" and the intense predicament of nihilism; his thoughts of the Apollonian and Dionysian.

Nietzsche, though primarily a philosopher, wrote widely on art, philology, history, religion, tragedy, culture, and science. In 1886, at the height of his powers, he published Beyond Good and Evil. Here he examines much of the best of human thought--dogmatic philosophy, Judeo-Christian morality, science and democracy – and finds it lacking. Rejecting “slave-morality” he presents his prescient vision of the future of philosophy with poetry and passion.Beyond Good and Evil is a modern classic: essential reading for anyone wishing to understand modern thought and modern society.

Beyond Good and Evil confirmed Nietzsche's position as the towering European philosopher of his age. The work dramatically rejects the tradition of Western thought with its notions of truth and God, good and evil.

With wit and energy, he turns from this critique to a philosophy that celebrates the present and demands that the individual imposes their own 'will to power' upon the world.

Beyond Good and Evil is a collection of essays and aphorisms in which Friedrich Nietzsche expresses his desire for a "transvaluation of all values." He contends that no human values are absolute; that all value distinctions (such as that between 'good' and 'evil') are artificial, the result of mere traditional prejudices; and that humanity should discard its old, outmoded values (such as 'good' and 'evil').
