Beyond Good And Evil (HB)

Nietzsche attacks the assumptions underneath moral philosophy itself, asking who benefits from the values a society treats as obvious. Beyond Good and Evil proceeds in aphorisms and short numbered sections rather than sustained chapters, taking on dogmatic philosophy, religious morality, nationalism, scholarship and the idea of the free spirit. The argument is deliberately provocative and rewards slow reading, since a position is often stated in order to be tested rather than defended. This Penguin Select Classics hardcover uses the English translation by Helen Zimmern and presents the text in a durable, cleanly designed format. Shelf notes: • A hardcover Penguin Select Classics edition • English translation by Helen Zimmern • Aphoristic structure suited to reading in short passages • A central text for the study of modern philosophy For philosophy students, academics and readers of intellectual history, available at Boipoka.
