Penguin Select Black Classics: Beyond Good and Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future

Description

“One loves ultimately one’s desires, not the thing desired.”
In a world ruled by customs and tradition, a philosopher dares to question all that is held sacred. He seeks to pierce the veil of morality and confront the truths men shrink from seeing.
Beyond Good and Evil is a study of power, thought, and human will. It challenges the comfortable divisions of right and wrong, revealing the courage―and the peril―of thinking freely.
Nietzsche’s work is a brave interrogation of the deepest convictions of our society, and serves as a call to examine the foundations of belief, the hidden drives of the soul, and the possibilities that lie beyond the familiar confines of morality.
