📜BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL📜
by Friedrich Nietzsche
---------------------------------------------------------
➡️ Beyond Good and Evil confirmed Nietzsche's position as the towering European philosopher of his age. ---------------------------------------------------------
📗About:
The 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.
