Summary

In Beyond Good and Evil, Friedrich Nietzsche attacks past philosophers for their alleged lack of critical sense and their blind acceptance of Christian premises in their consideration of morality. The work moves into the realm "beyond good and evil" in the sense of leaving behind the traditional morality, which Nietzsche subjects to a destructive critique, in favor of what he regards as an affirmative approach that fearlessly confronts the contextual nature of knowledge and the perilous condition of the modern individual.

This is a major work by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, whose writings have been deeply influential on subsequent generations of philosophers.

Not the easiest entry into Neitzche's world

I took my time with this, finding myself challenged at an intellectual and vocabulary level , persistance paid off.
The narrator is probably an aqquired taste, but his efforts are to be commended.
If one is prepared to pause and reflect when overwhelmed, a rewarding finish should be fothcoming.
