Friedrich Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil is translated from the German by R.J. Hollingdale with an introduction by Michael Tanner in Penguin Classics.
Beyond Good and Evil confirmed Nietzsche's position as the towering European philosopher of his age. The work dramatically rejects the tradition of Western thought with its notions of truth and God, good and evil. Nietzsche demonstrates that the Christian world is steeped in a false piety and infected with a 'slave morality'. With wit and energy, he turns from this critique to a philosophy that celebrates the present and demands that the individual imposes their own 'will to power' upon the world.
This edition includes a commentary on the text by the translator and Michael Tanner's introduction, which explains some of the more abstract passages in Beyond Good and Evil.
Frederich Nietzsche (1844-1900) became the chair of classical philology at Basel University at the age of 24 until his bad health forced him to retire in 1879. He divorced himself from society until his final collapse in 1899 when he became insane. A powerfully original thinker, Nietzsche's influence on subsequent writers, such as George Bernard Shaw, D.H. Lawrence, Thomas Mann and Jean-Paul Sartre, was considerable.
If you enjoyed Beyond Good and Evil you might like Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra, also available in Penguin Classics.
'One of the greatest books of a very great thinker'
Michael Tanner

John Allyn Smith

A profound and duly challenging read

21 July 2019

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Unlike many other philosophers considered belonging to the 'western canon', Nietzsche takes great pleasure in shrouding his ideas in so much irony so as to make his true philosophical leanings almost indiscernible to the casual reader (unless, of course, you are willing to sit and labour over each aphorism for an hour). The penguin classics edition of this text muddies the water of Nietzsche's meaning even further by providing one of the most verbose and wordy translations of an already assuredly verbose author; be warned, casual reader! 'Beyond Good & Evil' is not an easy book to read, and it's an even less simple one to truly comprehend the exhaustive meaning of -- but it still functions as by far the most accessible of Nietzsche's writings, for the uninitiated. As for his ideas, I'm not a huge fan myself (he has a habit of relying all too heavily on ad hominem to get his 'points' across) but still, as one of the world's greatest thinkers (and an insatiable wit to match), Nietzsche's writing is, and always will be, undeniably worth reading -- even if just for Nietzsche's devilishly cynical sense of humour.

A Foundation of Modern Thought?

In the #metoo age it is refreshing to read the honesty that both German and Russian 18th century authors had and their appreciation for the true state of human nature. Neitzsche blows apart the concept of equality through a few choice thoughts and appreciations.
