Description

"Beyond Good and Evil" by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche is a philosophical work published in 1886. Nietzsche launches a fierce attack on traditional philosophy, accusing past thinkers of disguising moral prejudices as objective truth. He challenges fundamental concepts like good versus evil, knowledge, and free will, proposing instead his theory of "will to power." The book calls for new philosophers who will move beyond conventional morality to embrace a more dangerous, perspectival understanding of existence and create new values for the future.
