Acerca de este libro electrónico

The revolutionary philosophical text that denounces traditional dogma and calls on individuals to find meaning in their own moral systems.
 
One of the most important works in the history of Western philosophy, Beyond Good and Evil consists of 296 sections and a final “aftersong.” Expounding on the ideas first introduced in Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Friedrich Nietzsche articulates his views on philosophy, philosophers, morality, religion, society, people, and culture.
 
Nietzsche’s central purpose throughout is to push the boundaries of moral philosophy beyond simplistic laws and the notion that all moral judgments can be reduced to a strict binary. First published in 1886, this trailblazing work has lost none of its power to confront and provoke.

Acerca del autor

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) was a German philosopher. Though he began his career as a classical philologist studying Greek and Roman texts, Nietzsche went on to publish numerous influential works critiquing contemporary society. Central to his philosophy are the death of religion in the modern world and the notion of overcoming a system of morality that is based on the dichotomy between good and evil. In 1889 Nietzsche suffered a breakdown that resulted in nearly complete mental incapacitation. He died in 1900.
