Synopsis "beyond good and evil"

Are traditional notions of morality actually the means of enslaving the human spirit? This is the claim of Friedrich Nietzsche in Beyond Good and Evil. Nietzsche is one of the most controversial of European philosophers. His bold attacks on Christianity, and the advocacy of a fearless approach to the uncertainties of life, have earned him both criticism and praise from disparate quarters. This book embodies the author's attempt to summarize and enhance his previous work. Beyond Good and Evil is Nietzsche at his most concise and systematic, and is a good starting point for the novice.

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.
