![]() Professor Kaufmann, the distinguished Nietzsche scholar, has also provided a running footnote commentary on the text. Unlike other editions, in English or German, this volume offers an inclusive index of subjects and persons referred to in the book. This translation by Walter Kaufmann -the first ever to be made in English by a philosopher -has become the standard one, for accuracy and fidelity to the eccentricities and grace of style of the original. The nine parts of the book are designed to give the reader a comprehensive idea of Nietzsche’s thought and style: they span "The Prejudices of Philosophers," "The Free Spirit," religion, morals, scholarship, "Our Virtues," "Peoples and Fatherlands," and "What is Noble," as well as chapter of epigrams and a concluding poem. ![]() In January 1889, Nietzsche collapsed on a street in Turin and was subsequently institutionalized, spending the rest of his life in a condition of mental and physical paralysis. Like Thus Spoke Zarathustra, which had immediately preceded it, Beyond Good and Evil represents Nietzsche's attempt to sum up his philosophy -but in less flamboyant and more systematic form. Works published in the 1880s include The Gay Science, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, On the Genealogy of Morals, Twilight of the Idols and The Antichrist. ![]() Beyond Good and Evil is one of the most remarkable and influential books of the nineteenth century. ![]()
