An immersive reading of the complete novel.
Read along, word by word.
Beyond Good and Evil (1886) is Friedrich Nietzsche's frontal attack on the moral and metaphysical assumptions of Western philosophy — nine essays and a torrent of aphorisms rejecting truth-as-virtue, herd morality, and the dogmatist's pretension to certainty. In their place he calls for a new kind of thinker, the free spirit, capable of looking past inherited categories of good and evil. One of the central works of nineteenth-century philosophy, and the prelude to his project of revaluing all values.
