Major work on ethics, by one of the most influential thinkers of the last two centuries, deals with master/slave morality and modern man's current moral practices; the evolution of man's feelings of guilt and bad conscience; and how ascetic ideals help maintain human life under certain conditions. This challenging, rewarding work is required reading in philosophy courses worldwide.
Among the most influential philosophers of modern times, Friedrich
Nietzsche (1844-1900) declared in this classic study that Greek
tragedy achieved greatness through a fusion of elements of
Apollonian restraint and control with Dionysian components of
passion and the irrational. In Nietzsche's eyes, however, Greek
tragedy had been destroyed by the rationalism and optimism of
thinkers like Socrates. Nevertheless, he found in these ancient
works the life-affirming concept that existence is still beautiful,
however grim and depressing it may sometimes be. These and many
other ideas are argued with passionate conviction in this
challenging book, called by British classicist F. M. Cornford "a
work of profound imaginative insight, which left the scholarship of
a generation toiling in the rear."

Este es el má s certero de los ataques de Friedrich Nietzsche
contra la moral judeocristiana. En este libro el filó sofo desdeñ
a la compasió n, la debilidad y las creencias que dieron
nacimiento a la sociedad occidental luego de la muerte de Cristo en
la cruz, al tiempo que plantea la necesidad de recuperar los
?valores de la aristocracia?, es decir, el poder, la fuerza, el
gusto por la bú squeda de la verdad má s allá de las
supersticiones. El anticristo es la gé nesis de una religió n, el
cristianismo, pero tambié n del mundo occidental tal cual lo
conocemos. En é l, Nietzsche desentrañ a los sentimientos que
llevaron a los primeros cristianos a tergiversar el mensaje de
Jesú s, para convertirlo en una ?contradicció n de la vida?.
Jenseits von Gut und Bose was written by Friedrich Nietzsche and
first published in 1886. It draws on and expands the ideas of his
previous work, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, but with a more critical and
polemical approach. In Beyond Good and Evil, Nietzsche accuses past
philosophers of lacking critical sense and blindly accepting
dogmatic premises in their consideration of morality. 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. This volume combines
Nietzsche's original prose and Helen Zimmern's classic translation.
Maintaining cheerfulness in the midst of a gloomy task, fraught
with immeasurable responsibility, is no small feat; and yet what is
needed more than cheerfulness? Nothing succeeds if prankishness has
no part in it. Excess strength alone is the proof of strength.
