Beyond Good And Evil

Beyond Good and Evil challenges dogmatic metaphysics and inherited moral oppositions by examining the drives and valuations concealed within claims to truth. Nietzsche’s nine chapters move through free spirits, religion, aphorisms, moral history, scholarship, European culture and nobility. Helen Zimmern’s translation preserves the work’s provocative, experimental voice and its closing poem.
