Beyond Good and Evil

The bold genius of Friedrich Nietzsche the controversial and legendary philosopher whose thought has impacted modern man like no other--shines through here in this classic literary meditation on the failings of past thinkers and intellectuals men who divided the so-named good from what they took to be evil. Nietzsche offers here a penetrating reexamination of human values maintaining that what is taken to be evil may in point of fact be the animalistic virtue of a sentient being imbued with an indomitable Will to Power while altruistic values conversely are the mark of weak lowly or degenerating creatures. A masterful erudite work of vastly intellectual significance Beyond Good and Evil (1886) forces the reader into a new awareness of his own values and conditioned presumptions.
