Beyond Good And Evil

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844 – 1900) was a famous German philosopher, cultural critic, poet, composer and Latin and Greek scholar. He wrote several critical texts on religion, morality, contemporary culture, philosophy and science, displaying a fondness for metaphor and irony.

Beyond Good and Evil is a book by philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, first published in 1886. In Beyond Good and Evil, Nietzsche accuses past philosophers of lacking critical sense and blindly accepting dogmatic premises in their consideration of morality. Specifically, he accuses them of founding grand metaphysical systems upon the faith that the good man is the opposite of the evil man, rather than just a different expression of the same basic impulses that find more direct expression in the evil man. This work made a unique period of philosophical polemics and controversial in the end of 19th century. Read it and make up your own mind according to his theory.
