Synopsis

In Beyond Good and Evil, Nietzsche continues to examine the morality of Western civilization in his own time. As one of his later works, Beyond Good and Evil largely focuses upon the critical perspective Nietzsche developed regarding the influence of Judeo-Christian values upon European culture. The title refers to Nietzsche’s rejection of traditional morality, and indeed, of any universal construct of morality. Instead, the controversial philosopher dismisses not only this concept but much of the Western philosophical canon as little more than religious dogma disguised as philosophy.
