"Jenseits von Gut und Böse" ... Dies heißt zum Mindesten nicht "Jenseits von Gut und Schlecht"." (Friedrich Nietzsche: Zur Genealogie der Moral. Erste Abhandlung) "An einer Theorie ist wahrhaft nicht ihr geringster Reiz, dass sie widerlegbar ist: gerade damit zieht sie feinere Köpfe an. Es scheint, dass die hundertfach widerlegte Theorie vom "freien Willen" ihre Fortdauer nur noch diesem Reize verdankt -: immer wieder kommt Jemand und fühlt sich stark genug, sie zu widerlegen." (Friedrich Nietzsche: Jenseits von Gut und Böse. Erstes Hauptstück).

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.

Der Sklavenaufstand in der Moral beginnt damit, dass das Ressentiment selbst schöpferisch wird und Werthe gebiert: das Ressentiment solcher Wesen, denen die eigentliche Reaktion, die der That, versagt ist, die sich nur durch eine imaginäre Rache schadlos halten. Während alle vornehme Moral aus einem triumphierenden Ja-sagen zu sich selber herauswächst, sagt die Sklaven-Moral von vornherein Nein zu einem "Außerhalb", zu einem "Anders", zu einem "Nicht-selbst": und dies Nein ist ihre schöpferische That.

Ecce homo, "behold the man", are the words Friedrich Nietzsche chose as the title for his literary self-portrait. A main purpose of the book was to offer Nietzsche's own perspective on his work as a philosopher and human being. Ecce Homo also forcefully repudiates those interpretations of his previous works purporting to find support there for imperialism, anti-Semitism, militarism, and Social Darwinism.

Alle soglie della follia, Nietzsche sosterrà di aver fatto all'umanità, con lo "Zarathustra", il più grande dono che essa abbia mai avuto: "Questo libro, una voce che passa sui millenni, non solo è il libro più alto che esista [...], ma anche il più profondo, generato dalla più intrinseca ricchezza della verità, una fonte inesauribile dove non si può calare il secchio senza farlo risalire colmo d'oro e di bontà". Perciò Nietzsche gli assegnerà una posizione preminente fra tutti i libri.

Friedrich Nietzsche, 1844-1900, gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Philosophen des ausgehenden 19. Jahrhunderts. "Also sprach Zarathustra", das philosophische Werk über die Suche nach dem Übermenschen, ist zweifellos Nietzsches persönlichstes Werk...

Written over 100 years ago, The Antichrist by the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche is a thought-provoking piece of literature in which Nietzsche urges the listener to be honest and critical in regards to previously accepted thoughts of modern Christianity. He suggests that the current basis for what is right and wrong, happiness and sadness, and other essential concepts is completely backward. Instead, every end result can be measured based on what Nietzsche calls the "will to power".

Así habló Zaratustra es uno de los textos más extraordinarios e importantes de la filosofía occidental. Fue escrito por Friedrich Nietzsche entre 1883 y 1885. Lo escribió en clave de novela con la esperanza de que su apremiante anuncio de la “muerte de Dios” y del surgimiento del superhombre (übermensch) tuviera un mayor impacto tanto emocional como intelectual.

Nietzsche is a major figure in Western philosophy. His work is radical, sometimes violent, often ironic; it fascinates anyone bold enough to delve into it, exerted a profound influence on modern intellectual history, and covers a wide range of subjects. Nietzsche's writings border on the poetic; his aphorisms are particularly well-known for conveying all the radicality of his thinking in a intense but light, sometimes amusing manner.

The essays contained in this volume treat of various subjects. With the exception of perhaps one we must consider all these papers as fragments. Written during the early Seventies, and intended mostly as prefaces, they are extremely interesting, since traces of Nietzsche's later tenets - like Slave and Master morality, the Superman - can be found everywhere. But they are also very valuable on account of the young philosopher's daring and able handling of difficult and abstruse subjects.

On the Genealogy of Morals: A Polemic is an 1887 work by the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. It consists of a preface and three interconnected essays that expand on concepts Nietzsche first raised in Beyond Good and Evil (1886). The three essays question and critique the value of our moral judgments based on a method whereby Nietzsche examines the origins and meanings of our different moral concepts.

While we tend to think of the great thinkers as hailing from Ancient Greece, the 19th century has had more than its fair share of sharp minds. ‘500 Quotations from the Great Philosophers of the 19th Century’ is a collection of reflections, insights, and observations from some of the best brains of that era. A superb book for dipping in and out of, this makes a great gift for anyone with an interest in history or philosophy.

Genealogía de la Moral es una obra provocadora que desentraña los orígenes y significados de nuestros valores éticos. En este texto, Nietzsche cuestiona las bases de la moralidad convencional y desafía al lector a reconsiderar lo que se considera bueno y malo. A través de un análisis de la historia y la psicología, expone cómo los valores morales han evolucionado, influenciados por factores culturales y de poder.

L'ouvrage débute par le déclin de Zarathoustra, qui n'hésite pas à se perdre d'abord pour mieux se retrouver par la suite. Pour devenir peu à peu ce qu'il est, à savoir le prophète de l'éternel retour du semblable, ce porte-parole exotique de la pensée de Nietzsche s'engage ainsi dans un voyage pour l'essentiel intérieur, jalonné de rêves éveillés, dans le but de sortir l'humanité de son "profond sommeil" et lui indiquer la voie de la grandeur, de la victoire sur soi.

Ecce homo fue redactada por Nietzsche en 1888, año en que perdió definitivamente sus facultades mentales. Es una autobiografía peculiar e ingeniosa en la que explica el origen y la finalidad de cada uno de sus libros. Asimismo, ofrece detalles interesantes sobre su personalidad y su vida. También escribe por primera vez lo que realmente piensa de su familia. El título es irónico, ya que Ecce homo es una inscripción relativa a Jesucristo que significa: «He aquí al hombre», Nietzsche se considera a sí mismo como el anticristo.

"The Twilight of the Idols", Nietzsche says in Ecce Homo: “If anyone should desire to obtain a rapid sketch of how everything before my time was standing on its head, he should begin reading me in this book. That which is called ‘Idols’ on the title-page is simply the old truth that has been believed in hitherto. In plain English, The Twilight of the Idols means that the old truth is on its last legs.

Beyond Good and Evil confirmed Nietzsche's position as the towering European philosopher of his age. The work dramatically rejects the tradition of Western thought with its notions of truth and God, good and evil. Nietzsche demonstrates that the Christian world is steeped in a false piety and infected with a "slave morality". With wit and energy, he turns from this critique to a philosophy that celebrates the present and demands that the individual imposes their own "will to power" upon the world.

The great figures of modern philosophy led generations to struggle with the most crucial of questions and break through a new understanding of conscience and existence. Nietzsche's work is radical, sometimes violent, often ironic; it fascinates anyone bold enough to delve into it, exerted a profound influence on modern intellectual history, and covers a wide range of subjects. Immanuel Kant is one of the most important figures of German philosophy, said to have affected a Copernican revolution in philosophy.
