Beyond Good and Evil

Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future

De: Friedrich Nietzsche

Narrado por: Steven Van Doren

In Beyond Good and Evil, Friedrich Nietzsche attacks past philosophers for their alleged lack of critical sense and their blind acceptance of Christian premises in their consideration of morality. The work moves into the realm "beyond good and evil" in the sense of leaving behind the traditional morality, which Nietzsche subjects to a destructive critique, in favor of what he regards as an affirmative approach that fearlessly confronts the contextual nature of knowledge and the perilous condition of the modern individual.

This is a major work by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, whose writings have been deeply influential on subsequent generations of philosophers.

good

interesting but scattered. I thought it would be more applicable and comprehensive. not much of a story so I scored itlow there

one of the best.

Wether or not you agree with the topic is not what I am rating. Some of Freds ideas are violently original. What I will say is that the narrator has a great pace and his voice is easy to listen too. The author does the topics justice and explains some philosophical ideas well without over simplification. This is not philosophy for dummies but at the same time its not Being and Time. Nice middle ground. If your a fan of the Freddy N. then yo will enjoy.

Mind blowing

The power of Nietzsche's writings is in its bluntness. Though the reasoning is ancient, the delivery is feels so modern.

What an asshole

Wonderful poetry about being a detriment to society. Nietzche had it all: sexism, racism, and a whoooole lot of daddy issues. Come and see the circus of philosophy! A shining example of the sort who embrace the death of our species thinking it nobility. The rationale of great and wasted privelege.

a YouTube comment in book form.

Unlike other philosophical writings, which inspire and ponder, this is amusing; funny even.
I listened to the whole thing in one sitting 1.5x speed; so it is not very long. Very artsy writing style.
Not to be taken seriously, listen to it, have fun. It made me laugh, out loud, at least twice.
I advice against listening intently, as to derive some nugget of truth. The book is very critical, but seeks to impress by colorful verbiage than to educate about that which it criticizes.

Nietzsche is hard enough to follow

without trying to listen to a book with 4 different languages and only a handful of translations being included. great otherwise.

Want to start reading philosophy? This is the one.

One of the things the that struck me most when he analyze the society at when this one was written in 1880s was that it fits so well into todays and previous years division between people class and identity. About how the mediocre class moralists sits on high horses and tell the peasants that they are evil and that they stand for goodness while they break their on morals of goodness in a socialist woke way. About other people who sees themself as superior over others in a fascist way. This was before we got to see the results of such peoples ruling.

Classic

Very interesting perspective some good stuff in here much of which you've probably thought it heard before. Essential reading.

excellent book with a narration to match!

definitely a worthy read of Nietzsche's! would suggest it to anyone looking for an all-encompassing introduction to his work.

Ignorant and insightful

I liked it. Though as I listened I tried to pinpoint Friedrich and my own grouping according to the book.

Will found both...

Definitely worth the listen though some thing's are spot on some are way of the mark and more shows Nietzsched personal opinion on thing's more than a good thought through response.

He haven't escaped his ego in this one.
