Synopsis "Beyond Good and Evil"

"There is no such thing as moral phenomena, but only a moral interpretation of phenomena" ― Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil Beyond Good and Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future (1886) by the famous philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche is a remarkable work which offers a treatise on ""Perspective of life"". ""Perspective of life"", according to Nietzche, is ""beyond good and evil"", refuting the existence of a universal morality for all human beings. This works discusses and exposes the deficiencies of so-called ""philosophers"" and identifies the qualities of the ""new philosophers"" which are imagination, self-assertion, danger, originality, and the ""creation of values"". It also contests some of the key presuppositions of the old philosophic tradition like ""self-consciousness"", ""knowledge"", ""truth"", and ""free will". The book interestingly offers the ""will to power"" as an explanation of all behavior.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (October 15, 1844-Weimar, August 25, 1900) was a German philosopher, poet, musician, and philologist, whose work has had a profound influence on contemporary global thought and Western culture.
Nietzsche wrote on topics as diverse as art, philology, music, history, religion, science, and tragedy. He critiqued culture, religion, and Western philosophy through the genealogy of the concepts that integrate them, based on the analysis of moral attitudes (positive and negative) towards life.
It is particularly notable the influence exerted on Nietzsche by the also German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, whom he considered his teacher, although he did not follow Schopenhauer's ideas dogmatically, and in many aspects, he diverged from his thought, even making a radical critique of his philosophical ideas.
