In "Beyond Good and Evil" Nietzsche accuses past philosophers of lacking critical sense and blindly accepting dogmatic premises in their consideration of morality. The work moves into the realm "beyond good and evil" in the sense of leaving behind the traditional morality which Nietzsche subjects to a destructive critique in favour of what he regards as an affirmative approach. Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) was a German philosopher, cultural critic, poet, philologist, and Latin and Greek scholar whose work has exerted a profound influence on Western philosophy and modern intellectual history. Because of Nietzsche's evocative style and provocative ideas, his philosophy generates passionate reactions. His works remain controversial, due to varying interpretations and misinterpretations of his work. In the Western philosophy tradition, Nietzsche's writings have been described as the unique case of free revolutionary thought, that is, revolutionary in its structure and problems, although not tied to any revolutionary project Helen Zimmern (1846–1934) was naturalised British writer and translator born in Germany. She was instrumental in making European culture more accessible in English.

Reconfiguring Nietzsche’s seminal impact on modernist literature and culture, this book presents a distinctive new reading of modernism by exploring his sustained philosophical engagement with nihilism and its inextricable tie to pain and sickness. Arguing that modernist texts dramatize the frailty of the ill, the impotent, and the traumatised modern subject unable to render suffering significant through traditional religious means, it uses the Nietzschean diagnoses of nihilism and what he calls 'ressentiment', the entwined feelings of powerlessness and vindictiveness, as heuristic tools to remap the fictional landscapes of Lawrence, Kafka, and Beckett. Lucid, authoritative and accessible, this book will appeal internationally to literature and philosophy scholars and undergraduates as well as to readers in medical and sociological fields.

In "Beyond Good and Evil," (original German: Jenseits von Gut und Böse) Nietzsche expands on the ideas introduced in "Thus Spake Zarathustra," offering a more detailed critique of traditional morality and philosophy. He challenges the dichotomy of good and evil, arguing for a more nuanced understanding of morality that transcends these simplistic categories. The book is a critical examination of the prejudices and assumptions underlying Western thought, calling for a reevaluation of values and the embrace of a more dynamic, perspectival approach to truth and knowledge. First published in 1886 by the publishing house C. G. Naumann in Leipzig, Germany, this is a new 2024 translation from this original 1886 German manuscript contains a new Afterword by the Translator, a timeline of Nietzsche's life and works, an index with descriptions of his core concepts and summaries of his complete body of works. This new 2024 translation from the original German, Latin and Greek manuscript contains a new Afterword by the translator, a timeline of Nietzsche's life and works, an index with descriptions of his core concepts and summaries of his complete body of works. This translation is designed to allow the armchair philosopher to engage deeply with Nietzsche's works without having to be a full-time Academic. The language is modern and clean, with simplified sentence structures and diction to make Nietzsche's complex language and arguments as accessible as possible. This Reader's Edition also contains extra material that amplifies the manuscript with autobiographical, historical and linguistic context. This provides the reader a holistic view of this very enigmatic philosopher as both an introduction and an exploration of Nietzsche's works; from his general understanding of his philosophic project to an exploration of the depths of his metaphysics and unique contributions. This edition contains: • An Afterword by the Translator on the history, impact and intellectual legacy of Nietzsche • Translation notes on the original German, Latin and Greek manuscript • An index of Philosophical concepts used by Nietzsche with a focus on Existentialism and Phenomenology • A chronological list of Nietzsche's entire body of works • A detailed timeline of Nietzsche's life and works • An excerpt from Nietzsche's 1889 Ecce Homo as an addendum, where he reflects upon his intentions behind Ecce Homo, only a year before his untimely death. For Nietzsche, "Beyond Good and Evil" was the prehistoric (or pre-Socratic) way of thinking in which actions were judged by their effects. Morality emerged only when actions were judged according to their intentions - especially in the "slave morality" of early Christianity. Nietzsche's demand was to return to the perspective of the pre-moral era; his counter-proposal is a new philosophy of "immorality" bound to the particular perspective of the individual, which was wholeheartedly embraced by the Nazi regime and several other genocidal movements of the 20th century. The Übermench must have unfettered dominion over all things, and must not be hindered by the "weak".

Some prominent elements of his philosophy include his genealogical critique of religion and Christian morality; the related theory of master–slave morality; the characterization of the human subject as the expression of competing wills, collectively understood as the will to power; and influential concepts such as the Übermensch and the doctrine of eternal return.

A new reader's edition of Nietzsche's early 1862 essay. This 2024 translation by Tim Newcomb from the original German & Latin manuscript contains a new Afterword by the translator, a timeline of Nietzsche's life and works, an index with descriptions of his core concepts and summaries of his complete body of works. The translation is designed to allow the armchair to engage deeply with Nietzsche's works without having to be a full-time Academic. The language is modern and clean, with simplified sentence structures and diction to make Nietzsche's complex language and arguments as accessible as possible. This short essay by Nietzsche is on the Roman concept of "Fatum", which literally means "what has been spoken" and from which the English word "Fate" comes. This is connected to the Greek Spirit called Μόρος or Moros, which drives morals towards death, and shows people their death. The Roman version of the Greek deity Moros was called Fatum. Nietzsche delineates the difference between Fate and the deity-spirit Fatum as: "Free will appears as the unbounded, the arbitrary; it is the infinitely free, the roaming, the spirit. Fatum, however, is a necessity if we are not to believe that world history is a dream, that the unspeakable travails of humanity are imaginary, that we ourselves are the playthings of our fantasies. Fatum is the infinite power of resistance to free will; free will without Fatum is just as inconceivable as spirit without real good without evil. For it is the contrast that makes the quality." Originally titled "Fatum und Geschichte", this was first published in 1862 when he was studying in Pforta. This was published in the journal edited by R.W. Emerson titled "Die Führung des Lebens. Gedanken und Studien" in Leipzig in 1862. This Reader's Edition also contains extra material that amplifies the manuscript with autobiographical, historical and linguistic context. This provides the reader a holistic view of this very enigmatic philosopher as both an introduction and an exploration of Nietzsche's works; from his general understanding of his philosophic project to an exploration of the depths of his metaphysics and unique contributions. This edition contains: • An Afterword by the Translator on the history, impact and intellectual legacy of Nietzsche • Translation notes on the original German manuscript • An index of Philosophical concepts used by Nietzsche with a focus on Existentialism and Phenomenology • A complete chronological list of Nietzsche's entire body of works • A detailed timeline of Nietzsche's life journey
