Beyond Good and Evil : Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future

„Beyond Good and Evil” is one of the most scathing and powerful critiques of philosophy, religion, science, politics and ethics ever written. This work rejects the tradition of Western thought with its notions of truth and God, good and evil and demonstrates that the Christian world is steeped in a false piety and infected with a „slave morality”. It promotes a philosophy that celebrates the present and demands that the individual imposes their own „will to power” upon the world. The nine parts of the book are designed to give the reader a comprehensive idea of Nietzsche’s thought and style: they span „The Prejudices of Philosophers,” „The Free Spirit,” religion, morals, scholarship, „Our Virtues,” „Peoples and Fatherlands,” and „What is Noble,” as well as chapter of epigrams and a concluding poem.
