Beyond Good and Evil

De: Friedrich Nietzsche

Narrado por: Alex Jennings, Roy McMillan

Continuing where Thus Spoke Zarathustra left off, Nietzsche's controversial work Beyond Good and Evil is one of the most influential philosophical texts of the 19th century and one of the most controversial works of ideology ever written.

Attacking the notion of morality as nothing more than institutionalised weakness, Nietzsche criticises past philosophers for their unquestioning acceptance of moral precepts. Nietzsche tried to formulate what he called "the philosophy of the future".

Alex Jennings reads this new translation by Ian Johnston.

You choose good or evil

take a look at one self from inside not the outside. our thoughts create good or evil.

A Lousy Choice for Audible

I am an IT professional and this was the suggested introduction to Nietzsche. I had no previous experience with Nietzsche.

Some books are natural choices for Audible, but this one is a stretch. Nietzsche's style is not easily consumable. Each point is nuanced and only goes down well if the listener has time to ponder on it a bit. Nietzsche's writing style is nuanced. Audible is a bad platform for its presentation.

great philosophical work

Not particularly exciting or riveting but deeply thought provoking and excellent in short bursts, particularly before bed.

execlent.. well worth it

great insight . it is one those books that one most at least once great.

Jordon Peterson

I did this book & Jung's to see if I could figure if Peterson was real or a cheap copy of the past.., something needs to account for his on & on wordiness.., I find these are his crazy mentors... Worried that as Einstein said "smart folks sound like crazy folks to stupid folks.., not wishing myself stupid I explored.., stupid, nope, I think the craziness is real & copied & not new.., painfully & full heavy hearted.., tortured soul trying to be the harbor pilot on the ship of fools that is at sea & not in the harbor at all.., constantly on the lookout & seeing nonexistent markers...

excellent performance

the narrator was very good. Nietzsche is difficult to read. Reading him aloud must be near impossible.

ok

not as sound in terms of philosophy and opinion as I'd expected, but still an interesting and worthwhile text

Deep concepts

I am new to Nietzsche. For me, this was a nice introduction. I feel like i would need to really study or listen repeatedly to fully grasp his work in all its complexity.

My search for the meaning of life continues; but this was another wonderful addition to the relevant data.

Nietzsche's philosophy with a crutch

The prologues before each part really helped me follow the strains of thought in Nietzsche's poetic aphorisms. It felt exhilarating to feel like I actually understood some thoughts and could value their beauty in expression and depth.

The performance is good, I liked the sometime arrogant, intellectually snobby tone, it painted a picture of philosopher's bitter loneliness. After the first listen I feel I only got the general idea of the structure and maybe grasped about 30% of the thoughts put forth. Re-listening some aphorisms in a different mindset and paradigms often allowed me to find deeper meaning. In this way, Nietzsche's writings are like the Bible.

Overall, a valuable work and worth a read, life changing in a non-practical theoretical way. Recommended to free thinkers.

Precious Context Ruined by the Narrater.

The narration by the British accent narrater sounds cocky, goofy, less intellectual, mindless, uneducated, ignorant, arrogant, incompetent, and reluctant.

I am sure he does not understand what he is reading. Jesus, a man who read Nietzsche without an ounce of humility? Annoying to death.

This is disgrace to Nietzsche, and I just want to return my purchase.

WTF do you think you are Narrater? This is not a hip-hop lyrics you sick F**k.
