Beyond Good and Evil - Friedrich Nietzsche

. .

Résumé :
Beyond Good and Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future (1886) by the famous philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche is a remarkable work which offers a treatise on Perspective of life. Perspective of life, according to Nietzche, is beyond good and evil, refuting the existence of a universal morality for all human beings. This works discusses and exposes the deficiencies of so-called philosophers and identifies the qualities of the new philosophers which are imagination, self-assertion, danger, originality, and the creation of values. It also contests some of the key presuppositions of the old philosophic tradition like self-consciousness, knowledge, truth, and free will. The book interestingly offers the will to power as an explanation of all behavior.
