Nietzsche Nihilism And The Philosophy Of The Future PDF Download

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.

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".
