Beyond Good and Evil by Friedrich Nietzsche is a seminal work of philosophical thought, examining the concept of morality and how it is determined and adjudicated in society. It investigates the absence of objective truth, arguing that morality is instead determined by the subjective values of those in power. Nietzsche further contends that the traditional views on moral behaviour are outdated, and that they must be challenged if progress is to be made. Read in English, unabridged.

— Ferod, 12/15/2023Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) was a nineteenth-century German-born philosopher and classical philologist. He wrote critical texts on religion, morality, contemporary culture, philosophy, and science, using a distinctive German language style. In 1889 he exhibited symptoms of insanity and lived his remaining years in the care of his mother and sister. His ideas exercised a major influence on several prominent European philosophers, including Martin Heidegger, Albert Camus, and Jean-Paul Sartre.
