Beyond Good and Evil is a work by Friedrich Nietzsche, published in 1886. In this book, Nietzsche criticizes traditional morality and proposes a new philosophy based on the will to power. The author examines the philosophical prejudices of his time and questions the concepts of "good" and "evil" as absolute values. This edition by Alianza Editorial, published in 2012, features a translation by Andrés Sánchez Pascual and is part of the collection "El libro de bolsillo - Bibliotecas de autor - Biblioteca Nietzsche."
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German philosopher and writer who started his career as a classical philologist and turned to philosophy early in his academic career. In 1869, at age 24, he was appointed Professor of Classical Philology at the University of Basel. Plagued by health problems for most of his life, he resigned from the university in 1879. He afterward lived as an independent writer, spending much of his life in relative solitude and financial insecurity while moving between Switzerland, Italy, and southern France in search of climates that might alleviate his condition, and in the following decade, he completed much of his core writing. In 1889, aged 44, he suffered a neurological collapse, and thereafter a complete loss of his mental faculties, with paralysis and vascular dementia; he lived out his remaining 11 years, first under the care of his mother, and later his sister, until his death. His works and his philosophy have fostered not only extensive scholarship but also much popular interest.
