Product Description

What is done out of love always takes place beyond good & evil. Always provocative the Friedrich Nietzsche of Beyond Good & Evil (1886) is at once sceptical psychologist & philosopher-seer passionately unmasking European society with his piercing insights & uncanny prescience. This masterpiece of his maturity considers quintessential Nietzschean topics such as the origins & nature of Judeo-Christian morality; the end of philosophical dogmatism & beginning of perspectivism; the questionable virtues of science & scholarship; liberal democracy nationalism & womens emancipation. Written in his most masterful style full of irreverence & brio Nietzsche dissects self-deluding human behaviour bankrupt intellectual traditions & the symptoms of social decadence while at the same time advancing an extra-moral wisdom to be shared by those kindred soul who think beyond good & evil. This new translation of Beyond Good & Evil provides readers with a true classic of modernity that sums up those forces & counterforces in nineteenth-century Western Civilisation that to an astonishing degree have also determined & continue to inform the course of our own century.
