Nietzsche: Beyond Good and Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future (Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy)

Beyond Good And Evil Is One Of The Most Scathing And Powerful Critiques Of Philosophy, Religion, Science, Politics, And Ethics Ever Written. In It, Nietzsche Presents A Set Of Problems, Criticisms, And Philosophical Challenges That Continue Both To Inspire And To Trouble Contemporary Thought. In Addition, He Offers His Most Subtle, Detailed, And Sophisticated Account Of The Virtues, Ideas, And Practices Which Will Characterize Philosophy And Philosophers Of The Future. With His Relentlessly Energetic Style And Tirelessly Probing Manner, Nietzsche Embodies The Type Of Thought He Wants To Foster, While Defining Its Historical Role And Determining Its Agenda. This Edition Offers A New And Readable Translation, By Judith Norman, Of One Of The Most Influential Texts In The History Of Philosophy, Together With An Introduction By Rolf-peter Horstmann That Sets It In Its Historical And Philosophical Context.--jacket.
