Beyond Good And Evil

In Beyond Good and Evil by Friedrich Nietzsche, Nietzsche focuses his attention on nothing less than the underlying basis of our moral assumptions, unleashing a powerful, polemical critique of the moral dogmas of the past and his own time.–Don Berry

“That which an age considers evil is usually an unseasonable echo of what was formerly considered good—the atavism of an old ideal.”

From critiquing the Christian morality and the philosophers’ ideas of truth to propounding Nietzsche’s philosophical insights into human psychology, this book explores his conceptions about ‘the free spirit,’ the virtues of the European culture, nationalism and the moral concepts of good and evil.

A collection of two hundred and ninety-six aphorisms, Nietzsche’s Beyond Good and Evil has influenced various philosophers, thinkers and writers. It continues to remain a quintessential masterpiece.
