Beyond Good and Evil – Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsches Beyond Good and Evil is a critical response to metaphysical writings that try to define good and evil. Nietzsche advocates for an individualized way of thinking that focuses on the realities of life and that ignores traditional moral conventions, including religion, free will, and self-consciousness.Divided into nine subjects areas, Beyond Good and Evil was written in a polemical style consisting of 296 short sections. Published shortly after Nietzsches Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil expands on and adds to the ideas of that previous work.
