책소개

In Beyond Good and Evil, Nietzsche reexamines traditional morality and philosophy from the ground up.
He argues that past philosophers, while claiming to seek absolute truth, are often driven by instincts and the will to power.
Even the "will to truth" itself is questioned—truth may be a product of deeper biological drives.
The dichotomy of good and evil is exposed as a false construction; humans must go beyond it to create new values.
Philosophers should not merely transmit truth, but reinterpret life and guide meaning-making.
Traditional morality, Nietzsche claims, reflects the viewpoint of the weak and suppresses the vitality of the strong.
He presents the vision of a new type of individual—one who overcomes the self and invents morality anew.
This work is a philosophical manifesto calling for a radical rethinking of truth, morality, and human nature.

저자(글) Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) was a German philosopher, philologist, poet, and cultural critic. He is best known for challenging traditional moral and religious values, famously declaring that "God is dead." Nietzsche deeply explored the meaning of human existence, proposing the concept of the "Übermensch" (Overman) to advocate for self-created values. His major works include Thus Spoke Zarathustra and Beyond Good and Evil. While confronting the problem of nihilism, he emphasized the affirmation of life and expressed a powerful will to live. Plagued by health issues from a young age, he eventually suffered a mental breakdown and spent his final years in silence. His ideas have profoundly influenced 20th-century philosophy, literature, and art. Even today, Nietzsche's philosophy continues to inspire those seeking to understand the essence of existence and the pursuit of freedom.
