Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

This Penguin Classic is performed by Leighton Pugh, known for his various roles at the National Theatre. This definitive recording includes an introduction by Michael Tanner.

Beyond Good and Evil confirmed Nietzsche's position as the towering European philosopher of his age. The work dramatically rejects traditional Western thought with its notions of truth and God, good and evil. Nietzsche seeks to demonstrate that the Christian world is steeped in a false piety and infected with a 'slave morality'. With wit and energy, he turns from this critique to a philosophy that celebrates the present and demands that the individual impose their own 'will to power' upon the world.

Monumental

Perhaps the greatest work in western philosophy. It breathes life into what seemed to be a dying subject, and feels in many ways still too advanced for today.

Yet, Nictzsche does not posit a telos beyond individual striving, whereas the Yoga tradition teaches that we are united because all our individual strivings go towards the same end: bliss. Were there not commonality, we could not talk to each other. Since we can, the nature of that commonality bears investigation, and this is a monumental attempt. I leave further judgements to you, dear reader.
