Beyond Good and Evil - Softcover

Reseña del editor

The title of this work refers to the need for modern philosophy to move beyond the traditional assessments and recommendations regarding moral actions. Nietzsche offers instead a new perspective whereby modern persons can assess ethics and the ethical systems that underlie them. At the same time he also accuses prior ethical systems of accepting basic assumptions about morality without rigor, taking them to task for lazy and wishful philosophies. The ideas in Beyond Good and Evil should be examined by anyone who has an interest in ethics, and they are essential reading for those who would learn about meta-ethics. Even when readers may find Nietzsche to be wrong in their estimate, this work still casts light onto areas that seldom otherwise get examined.
