Beyond Good And Evil

Name: Beyond Good And Evil
Rating: 5 (8 reviews)
Author: Friedrich Nietzsche
ISBN: 9780679724650

Friedrich Nietzsche · 2003 · 256 pages

One of the most remarkable and influential books of the nineteenth century—Nietzsche's attempt to sum up his philosophy. In nine parts the book is designed to give the reader a comprehensive idea of Nietzsche's thought and style: they span "The Prejudices of Philsophers," "The Free Spirit," religion, morals, scholarship, "Our Virtues," "Peoples and Fatherlands," and "What Is Noble," as well as epigrams and a concluding poem. This translation by Walter Kaufmann has become the standard one, for accuracy and fidelity to the eccentricities and grace of the style of the original. The translation is based on the only edition Nietzsche himself published, and all variant reading in later editions. This volume offers an inclusive index of subjects and persons, as well as a running footnote commentary on the text.

“So, instead of flicking the bean, maybe you write novels about thirsty vampires, or for that matter philosophical treatises about the will to power. Oh we'll to get to you.”

“Next book: Gay Science! And know what you want to do it's okay! I give you the pass! The first time I read Nietzsche I read Beyond Good and Evil I didn't understand a goddamn thing. Don't watch my book review it's embarrassing and I'm not gonna pretend I'm some Nietzsche scholar now either but I had a bad time first reading him because he was referencing all these different philosophers and I had no clue who they even were after reading more philosophy coming back to Nietzsche again my reaction was still bad because I went this guy was making fun of all my heroes what the *** so Nietzsche for me was a slow cook I will admit. But the best way to understand philosophy is to understand the person behind it and the more I feel like I had done that the more I came to love Nietzsche. Uh he loves his words he's very great at them he's very harsh and very brutal but you understand that he targets philosophers that he likes or that he at least admires to some degree.”
