The revolutionary philosophical text that denounces traditional dogma and calls on individuals to find meaning in their own moral systems.


One of the most important works in the history of Western philosophy, Beyond Good and Evil consists of 296 sections and a final “aftersong.” Expounding on the ideas first introduced in Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Friedrich Nietzsche articulates his views on philosophy, philosophers, morality, religion, society, people, and culture.


Nietzsche’s central purpose throughout is to push the boundaries of moral philosophy beyond simplistic laws and the notion that all moral judgments can be reduced to a strict binary. First published in 1886, this trailblazing work has lost none of its power to confront and provoke.

Friedrich Nietzsche

The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche was born in Prussia in 1844. After the death of his father, a Lutheran minister, Nietzsche was raised from the age of five by his mother in a household of women. In 1869 he was appointed Professor of Classical Philology at the University of Basel, where he taught until 1879 when poor health forced him to retire. He never recovered from a nervous breakdown in 1889 and died eleven years later.

Known for saying that 'god is dead,' Nietzsche propounded his metaphysical construct of the superiority of the disciplined individual (superman) living in the present over traditional values derived from Christianity and its emphasis on heavenly rewards. His ideas were appropriated by the Fascists, who turned his theories into social realities that he had never intended.
