Synopsis "Beyond Good & Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future "

One of the most remarkable and influential books of the nineteenth century--Nietzsche's attempt to sum up his philosophy. In nine parts the book is designed to give the reader a comprehensive idea of Nietzsche's thought and style: they span "The Prejudices of Philsophers," "The Free Spirit," religion, morals, scholarship, "Our Virtues," "Peoples and Fatherlands," and "What Is Noble," as well as epigrams and a concluding poem. This translation by Walter Kaufmann has become the standard one, for accuracy and fidelity to the eccentricities and grace of the style of the original. The translation is based on the only edition Nietzsche himself published, and all variant reading in later editions. This volume offers an inclusive index of subjects and persons, as well as a running footnote commentary on the text.

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.
