Beyond Good and Evil

Beyond Good and Evil confirmed Nietzsche?s position as the towering European philosopher of his age. The work dramatically rejects t he tradition of Western thought with its notions of truth and God, good and evil. Nietzsche demonstrates that the Christian world is steeped in a false piety and infected with a ?slave morality?. With wit and energy, he turns from this critique to a philosophy tha t celebrates the present and demands that the individual imposes their own ?will to power? upon the world.This edition includes a co mmentary on the text by the translator and Michael Tanner?s introduction, which explains some of the more abstract passages in Beyon d Good and Evil.
