«Além do Bem e do Mal» is the philosophical essay by Friedrich Nietzsche, published by Companhia das Letras in paperback (271 pages, in Portuguese).
In this work Nietzsche develops the central ideas of his mature philosophy: perspectivism, the will to power and the critique of established morality, as well as examining the psychology of religion and the figure of the noble man. The book is completed with aphorisms on art and sexuality, portraits of peoples and countries and judgments on historical personalities, written with irony and precision.
Second Brazilian edition published in 2001; the work originally appeared in 1886 as «Jenseits von Gut und Böse».
For philosophy readers interested in the roots of existentialism, analytic philosophy and psychoanalysis, who saw in Nietzsche a precursor.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German philosopher and writer who started his career as a classical philologist and turned to philosophy early in his academic career. In 1869, at age 24, he was appointed Professor of Classical Philology at the University of Basel. Plagued by health problems for most of his life, he resigned from the university in 1879. He afterward lived as an independent writer, spending much of his life in relative solitude and financial insecurity while moving between Switzerland, Italy, and southern France in search of climates that might alleviate his condition, and in the following decade, he completed much of his core writing. In 1889, aged 44, he suffered a neurological collapse, and thereafter a complete loss of his mental faculties, with paralysis and vascular dementia; he lived out his remaining 11 years, first under the care of his mother, and later his sister, until his death. His works and his philosophy have fostered not only extensive scholarship but also much popular interest.
