‘Anyone who fights with monsters should take care that he does not in the process become a monster, and if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss gazes back into you’
Beyond Good and Evil is one of the most influential books of the 19th century. With its thought-provoking insights and profound reflections, this book is a must read for philosophy enthusiasts and anyone who wishes to broaden their intellectual horizons.
This philosophical masterpiece will take you on a transformative journey of self-discovery as Nietzsche challenges conventional thinking and explores the depths of human nature, delving into topics such as morality, power, truth, the human condition, and the pursuit of individuality.
Nietzsche accuses past philosophers of lacking critical sense and blindly accepting dogmatic premises in their consideration of morality. He accuses them of founding grand metaphysical systems upon the faith that the good man is the opposite of the evil man, rather than just a different expression of the same basic impulses that find more direct expression in the evil man.
The work moves into the realm ‘beyond good and evil’ in the sense of leaving behind the traditional morality which Nietzsche subjects to a destructive critique in favor of what he regards as an affirmative approach that fearlessly confronts the perspectival nature of knowledge and the perilous condition of the modern individual.
