Beyond Good and Evil put Nietzsche in the position as the towering European philosopher of his age. The work radically rejects the belief of Western thought with its notions of truth and God, good and evil. He demonstrates that the Christian world is overrun with false piety and infected with a 'slave morality.' With humor and energy, he turns from this assessment to a philosophy that celebrates the present and demands that we all impose our own 'will to power' upon the world.


Beyond Good and Evil is one of the most scathing and powerful critiques of philosophy, religion, science, politics, and ethics ever written.


This book is unabridged and appears as it was first intended. First published in 1886.

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.
