Beyond Good and Evil Hardcover – Box set, April 9, 2008

Great quick read.

This is one of the foundations that anyone interested in Philosophy will read at some point. Nietzshe is one of the key authors in this area and will form the core of most discussions in morality.This said, while thought provoking, insightful and intriguing, unless you are looking to get into a philosophical debate on morality or looking for thoughts to guide political decisions, this isn't your book. If you want a fast read, entertainment or something that keeps you awake, this isn't your book. Caution needed as this may cause: headaches as you try to grasp the larger concepts and loss of consciousness as you fall asleep after just a few pages.I enjoyed this book. I'll be keeping it on my Kindle and have highlights/notes to go back to. But even I had to focus to push through all of this book.

First let me say some of the book was like being on an acid trip, pondering ideas, coming from nowhere and ending incomplete. Maybe I didn't understand the relativity of tearing down philosophies of religion and artists. But I did like the final chapter, once I understood the that ideas where randomly going to be asserted and not supported, and to be taken on the authority of him. Saying that there were alot of insightful things. But let me also say that it is strange that many places in the book it is stating to form your own ideas your own ethics your own humanity and why because I say so, wow how thought provoking is that. Maybe it is because I believe in freedom I don't understand forcing or being forced. What does one care what another does or does not in his religion or philosophy right or wrong it is order for them. Example he makes reference to flat earth being it is self evident, well he was wrong, so should we dismiss the book, does that mean there is no master and slave. There is plenty I agree on and would surely have back up with reason and created arguments rather the assert the because I am smarter argument, which is difficult to do when you are saying create your own world. So my question is it enlighten or psychopathic is it genius or crazy. Are Germans better than English. Be self reliant and we could be if it were for those people. If you like my review, you will like the book, jumping all over the place asserting ideas without reasoning but good information within. Maybe being nonreligious I don't get the push back. Not being German seeing how one composer is better than another because of race. Hmm! I guess we will take it on his authority. So in conclusions a mess of good and bad ideas in random order to go though like stacks of papers on a desk this pile over here for this, this one over there for that. Still feel a great philosopher, ideas and concept are great more than that extraordinary I do use them.

If you have not read this I must ask why. Then I must ask you to ask yourself why. Anything by Nietzche is not just interesting and a learning experience, it is hillarious as well. despite the label of being a nihlist, given by people who never read him or disagree with him, Nietzche has a profound insight to life that is actually quite joyous-not just in this work but in general. I suggest every book he has, mind you I am biased as I was a philosophy major and had to read him anyway, bvut I had read him befor that too. It's worth it to buy this alone or better yet buy a collected works that includes his other work as well.

The price for this title was very cheap, however, there are no page numbers, chapters, or index. Additionally there are no clear paragraphs, so hard to follow the narrative. The printing itself was light and difficult to read.

Great book obviously but the print is absolutely tiny so if you have trouble with reading tiny print or even if you don’t think you do, you will with this edition.

It took me a while to follow this diatribe. But I caught on. Then I realized most of it went over my head. I did find some great quotes.

These ideas have become very popular in the universities. Us ordinary people would do well to understand a source for the shallowness in the university liberal arts departments.

ok. Zuerst--es ist möglich dass ich nicht über dieses Buch schreiben. Warum? Ich habe nur zwölf Prozent gelesen. Aber es freut mich so sehr dass ich muss. Ich lese auf Englisch und nicht auf Deutsch. Trotzdem habe ich nicht so viel gelacht seit ich PG Wodehouse gelesen habe.Nietzsche hat kein Respekt für alle andere Philosophen. Er spricht (mehr oder weniger) in Klartext. Ich habe viele Philosophie gelesen und schrieben--mein zweites Buch--"The Philosophy of Common Sense" ist auf Kindle. Ich habe Heidegger gelesen als ich fünfzehn war... lese und lache....

Nietzsche at his best. Absolutely recommend.

Um livro extremamente denso, porém se bem interpretado possui ensinamentos sobre vida, moral e outros (enfim filosofia), muitas vezes recompensadores.

Buen libro y llegó en buen estado.

I bought the 10€ hardcover version (relié) with the red and black motif pyramid cover. The book is very nice presenting and even features a silk ribbon page marker . The paper is quality and the font size and formatting of the text is very nice. The english translation is good. It retains the style of the time, while still being accessible with some effort of concentration. I'm happy to add this book to my small collection of valuable works.
