Beyond Good and Evil
€0,00
First published in 1886, Beyond Good and Evil is one of Friedrich Nietzsche’s most provocative explorations of morality, truth and the foundations of Western thought. Challenging the assumptions inherited from religion and philosophy, Nietzsche questions whether what we call “good”, “evil” and “truth” are universal principles or human constructions shaped by history, instinct and the desire for power. Moving through a series of incisive aphorisms and reflections, he takes aim at philosophers, moralists, scholars and the comfortable certainties of his age, while imagining a new kind of thinker: independent, courageous and willing to question even the deepest convictions.
Subtitled Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future, the book is at once a critique of traditional morality and an invitation to think beyond its boundaries. Its wit, contradictions and unsettling questions make it one of Nietzsche’s most compelling works, illuminating ideas that would become central to modern philosophy, psychology and cultural criticism. Bold, restless and often startlingly personal, Beyond Good and Evil asks what might become possible when we stop accepting inherited truths and begin to examine the values by which we live.
