A deluxe, high-quality edition of Friedrich Nietzsche's seminal
work Beyond Good and Evil is one of the final books by German
philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. This landmark work continues to be
one of the most well-known and influential explorations of moral
and ethical philosophy ever conceived. Expanding on the concepts
from his previous work Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Nietzsche adopts a
polemic approach to past philosophers who, in his view, lacked
critical sense in accepting flawed premises in their consideration
of morality. The metaphysics of morality, Nietzsche argues, should
not assume that a good man is simply the opposite of an evil man,
rather merely different expression of humanity's common basic
impulses. Controversial in its time, as well as hotly debated in
the present, Nietzsche's work moves beyond conventional ethics to
suggest that a universal morality for all human beings in
non-existent - perception, reason and experience are not static,
but change according to an individual's perspective and
interpretation. The work further argues that philosophic traditions
such as "truth," "self-consciousness" and "free will" are merely
inventions of Western morality and that the "will to power" is the
real driving force of all human behaviour. This volume: Critiques
