This work dramatically rejects the tradition of Western thought with its notions of truth and God, good and evil. Nietzsche demonstrates that the Christian world is steeped in a false piety and infected with a "slave morality." With wit and energy, he turns from this critique to a philosophy that celebrates the present and demands that the individual imposes their own "will to power" upon the world.

Review of 'Beyond good and evil' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Nietzsche again drags his unnecessary pessimism and blind belief in intrinsic human hierarchy into this work. Like some other philosophers, he frequently takes the liberty to not justify his ideas to the audience, which would have been helpful to understand his position! In general, the man seems depressed and angry at a changing world, which is a very sad place to live.
