Beyond Good and Evil

Description

"There is no such thing as moral phenomena, but only a moral interpretation of phenomena" ― Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil Beyond Good and Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future (1886) by the famous philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche is a remarkable work which offers a treatise on ""Perspective of life"". ""Perspective of life"", according to Nietzche, is ""beyond good and evil"", refuting the existence of a universal morality for all human beings. This works discusses and exposes the deficiencies of so-called ""philosophers"" and identifies the qualities of the ""new philosophers"" which are imagination, self-assertion, danger, originality, and the ""creation of values"". It also contests some of the key presuppositions of the old philosophic tradition like ""self-consciousness"", ""knowledge"", ""truth"", and ""free will". The book interestingly offers the ""will to power"" as an explanation of all behavior.
