Beyond Good and Evil
Helen Zimmern (1906)
Friedrich Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil (Jenseits von Gut und Böse, 1886) is a wide-ranging assault on the assumptions of traditional philosophy, religion, and morality. In nine parts of aphorism and argument, Nietzsche attacks the 'dogmatism' of past philosophers, diagnoses morality as an expression of the will to power, distinguishes 'master' from 'slave' moralities, and calls for 'free spirits' and 'philosophers of the future' who will create values beyond the inherited opposition of good and evil. The translation is Helen Zimmern's of 1906.
