Beyond Good and Evil

Description of book

“Without music, life would be a mistake.”
“It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.” ...
“That which does not kill us makes us stronger.”
“I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.”
Nietzsche
By turns illuminating, infuriating, bewildering, and amusing, Nietzsche's masterwork covers a lot of ground. He rejects most strands of Western thought, especially on the subject of morality, and develops his own theme demanding that individuals embrace their own 'will to power' to give life intention and direction. First published in German in 1887, this translation was produced in 1907 by Helen Zimmern, a long-standing acquaintance of Nietzsche.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German philosopher, cultural critic and philologist whose work has exerted a profound influence on modern intellectual history. He began his career as a classical philologist before turning to philosophy.
