«Más allá del bien y del mal» is the philosophical essay by Friedrich Nietzsche, published by Editorial Edaf in paperback (217 pages, in Spanish).
In this work, Nietzsche criticises the foundations of Western morality and argues that good and evil are not absolute opposites but concepts born of the same passions. Across nearly three hundred aphorisms he examines the will to power, religion, science and psychology, and encourages the individual to create their own values.
Work originally published in German in 1886 under the title «Jenseits von Gut und Böse». This Spanish edition belongs to the Biblioteca Edaf de Bolsillo collection.
Recommended for readers interested in philosophy and in Nietzsche's thought; reading it invites one to review one's own moral convictions.
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.
