"Beyond Good and Evil" is Nietzsche's first sustained philosophical
treatment of issues important to him. Unlike the expository prose
of the essayistic period (1872-76), the stylized forays and jabs of
the aphoristic period (1878-82), and the lyrical-philosophical
rhetoric of the Zarathustra-period (1882-85), "Beyond Good and
Evil" inscribes itself boldly into the history of philosophy,
challenging ancient and modern notions of philosophy's achievements
and insisting on a new task for "new philosophers." This is a
watershed book for Nietzsche and for philosophy in the modern era.
"On the Genealogy of Morality" applies Nietzsche's celebrated
genealogical method, honed in the earlier aphoristic writings, to
the problem of morality's influence on the human species. In three
treatises that strikingly anticipate insights appearing much later
in Freud's "Civilization and Its Discontents" (1930), Nietzsche
provides an anthropological psychograph of our species, revealing
the origins of the concepts of good and evil, the roles played by
guilt and bad conscience, and the persistence of ascetic ideals.
Manifesting a hopeful yet unsentimental assessment of the human
condition, these books resonated throughout the 20th century and
continue to exert broad appeal.
