«Más allá del bien y del mal» is the philosophical essay by Friedrich Nietzsche, published by Mateos Ediciones in paperback (249 pages, in Spanish).
A work of Western thought in which Nietzsche criticizes traditional morality and the foundations of earlier philosophy. With incisive aphorisms he questions absolute truths and the opposition between good and evil, and vindicates the will to power and a new hierarchy of values.
1998 edition. Translation of «Jenseits von Gut und Böse» (1886) by Francisco Javier Carretero Moreno; part of the Clásicos de siempre collection (no. 9).
Of interest to philosophy readers and those seeking nineteenth-century classics of thought.
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.
