Beyond Good and Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future (first
published in 1886) written by Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), the most
revolutionary of modern philosophers, is an essential text for anyone
interested in the development of recent thought. Nietzsche seeks to
unmask and expose all the traditional philosophies and philosophers as
fundamentally inadequate and to insist upon the fictional nature of all
human attempts to explain what is true and upon the superficiality of
modern ideas, including democracy and science. Nietzsche here calls upon
the philosophers of the future to leave traditional morality behind and
to move "beyond good and evil" in a dangerous but more fulfilling
attempt to affirm the potential of human life. Largely unknown in
Nietzsche’s day, Beyond Good and Evil has in the twentieth
century played a central role in the development of a number of modern
philosophies; its influence today extends beyond philosophy into any
number of other areas.
Ian Johnston’s new translation captures brilliantly Nietzsche’s
extraordinary writing style, which has long been celebrated as a
uniquely vital contribution to philosophical writing.
