Description

Friedrich Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil is a groundbreaking work of philosophy that challenges the traditional notions of truth and morality. Translated from the German by R.J. Hollingdale, this Penguin Classics edition includes an introduction by Michael Tanner, which provides context for the more abstract passages in the text. Nietzsche's philosophy is characterized by a critique of the Christian world and its notion of a 'slave morality'. He argues that this morality is rooted in a false piety and that individuals must impose their own 'will to power' upon the world. This edition offers a commentary on the text by the translator and an introduction by Michael Tanner, making it an accessible and informative read. First published in 1886, Beyond Good and Evil has had a significant influence on subsequent writers, including George Bernard Shaw, D.H. Lawrence, Thomas Mann, and Jean-Paul Sartre. If you're interested in exploring Nietzsche's thought and its ongoing relevance, this edition is a great place to start.
