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