Beyond Good and Evil

'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 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 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 some of the more abstract passages in Beyond Good and Evil. 'One of the greatest books of a very great thinker' Michael Tanner.Nietzsche, Friedrich is the author of 'Beyond Good and Evil', published 2003 under ISBN 9780140449235 and ISBN 014044923X.
