Beyond Good And Evil
(Friedrich Nietzsche)
Nietzsche never advocated any sort of morality as "good morality", nor did he encourage the creation of a best possible society by use of a certain morality. Nor is that what this book is about. (Nor did he propose the creation of a new Moral standard: his good/evil versus good/bad antithesis is an analysis; Nietzsche was a philosopher, not an ideologue, moralist, or politician). Moreover, he did not find moral complacency to be the greatest fault of his time: rather, the mental complacency and lack of intellectual integrity displayed by many academics and philosophers.
Nietzsche here tries to analyze a range of issues and exposes in the most surprising ways numerous relationships, psychological insights, and types of morality, personality, and so forth. The aphoristic style is not a reflection of discontinuity: it is an embodiment of Nietzsche's ideal of constant questioning. These are thought experiments which develop ideas in unexpected ways, ideas which are retraced through the entire work. It has structure and continuity for those willing to discover it.
