The book, Beyond Good & Evil, is written by a philosopher, Freidrich Nietzsche (15th October 1844 – 25th August, 1900). He was a German philosopher. He was a composer, poet, writer, and philologist also. Although he started his career as a philologist then he switched over to philosophy. He became the youngest person ever to hold the chair of Classical Philology at the University of Basel. But due to his health problem he couldn’t continue.

In the book, Nietzsche has criticizes the past philosophers due to lacking in their critics quality and also their accepting dogmatic concepts blindly. It narrates about leaving traditional morality, which the author subjects to a destructive critique. He suggest fearless confrontation against the perilous condition of modern individual. It is a comprehensive overview of Nietzsche’s mature philosophy. Nietzsche asks the question, “What compel us to assume there exists any essential antithesis between ‘true’ and ‘false’?” He discusses the complexities of the German soul. He praises France as “the seat of Europe’s most spiritual and refined culture and the leading school of taste.”

In prophetic statement, Nietzsche proclaims that “the time for petty politics is the things of past; the very next century will bring with it the struggle for mystery over the whole earth.
