Beyond Good and Evil by Fredrich Nietzsche, translated by Helen Zimmern, is a cornerstone of philosophical foundations. Still relevant in today's digital world, Nietzsche explores concepts of morality in an ever-evolving culture in which the role of religion seems to continue to shrink. In its place during the 1900s, the arts and humanities filled the void. Today, capitalism, AI, and the screen life have become the new modes of worship. A product of his time, Nietzsche's problematic approaches to women, as well as his elitist approach to master morality and slave morality, must continue to be questioned and dismantled. In this annotated version for beginning philosophers, questions for discussion point to what may hold merit and what must continue to be scrutinized. An essential classic for all robust thinkers, Avondale's New Classics release of Beyond Good and Evil points the way to reframing our foundations."It seems that in order to inscribe themselves upon the heart of humanity with everlasting claims, all great things have first to wander about the earth as enormous and awe-inspiring caricatures.

""A living thing seeks above all to DISCHARGE its strength-life itself is WILL TO POWER; self-preservation is only one of the indirect and most frequent RESULTS thereof.".
