Beyond Good and Evil

The best book I have ever read.

There's two thing i'll do while on the can, either think of ex girlfriends or read this book. overrated...Nietzsche is a douche bag.

just started it but I'm sure it'll be good.

If you love how ideas develop read it and then some contemporary book on evolutionary psychology. If not, just read some contemporary books..

Nietszche's best book, in my opinion. This book discusses judgments we make every day without being aware of having made them. The most obvious are "Good" vs "Evil," while the same sense of duality could be applied to many judgments.

Nietszche's best book, in my opinion. This book discusses judgments we make every day without being aware of having made them. The most obvious are "Good" vs "Evil," while the same sense of duality could be applied to many judgments. These ideas fly in the face of conventional morality and so attained a notoriety even in it's heyday. It is a sad twist of fate that Nietzsche's books were given to German soldiers to read, thus predisposing that war's victors even more against his philosophy. Nitzsche philosophy was grander than that.   hide

Tough read. Had to read it in school and figured I would try again. Not fun.

Ahead of his time, to be sure. Nietzsche is capable of both profound insight and honesty. Occasionally the book delves into a rant (sometimes about controversial topics with out dated views) but nonetheless qualifies as a masterpiece.

in my opinion nietzsches best work, as thus spoke zarathustra is more personal and the antichrist more angry and less philosphically minded. great quotes on everything. really some of the best one liners philosophy has to offer.

Not my favorite work of his, but a fine addition to his holy selection nonetheless.
