Beyond Good and Evil

Translated by Helen Zimmern

Omschrijving

"Beyond Good and Evil" is a philosophical work by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. The book comprises 296 aphorisms in which Nietzsche explores various topics, including morality, religion, culture, power, and truth. Nietzsche criticizes traditional Western morality and its emphasis on self-denial and asceticism, arguing that it suppresses the individual's natural impulses and creativity. He instead proposes a morality of life affirmation, where individuals embrace their instincts and passions as a means of self-expression and personal fulfillment. Nietzsche also critiques religion as a tool of repression and argues that it is responsible for the decline of culture and individual creativity. He suggests that the concept of God is a human invention that has been used to control and manipulate people. Furthermore, Nietzsche questions the notion of objective truth and argues that all knowledge is a product of human interpretation and perspective. He proposes the idea of the "will to power," which he sees as the fundamental driving force behind human behavior. Overall, "Beyond Good and Evil" is a challenging and thought-provoking work that challenges traditional assumptions about morality, religion, and truth, and offers a new perspective on the human condition.
