Synopsis "Beyond Good and Evil and The Antichrist: Two Books in One"

In Beyond Good and Evil, Nietzsche accuses past philosophers of lacking critical sense and blindly accepting dogmatic premises in their consideration of morality. Specifically, he accuses them of founding grand metaphysical systems upon the faith that the good man is the opposite of the evil man, rather than just a different expression of the same basic impulses that find more direct expression in the evil man. 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 favour of what he regards as an affirmative approach that fearlessly confronts the perspectival nature of knowledge and the perilous condition of the modern individual.In The Antichrist, Nietzsche presents a highly controversial view of Christianity as a damaging influence upon western civilization that must come to an end. Regardless of one's religious or philosophical point of view, The Antichrist makes for an engaging philosophical discourse. He argues that Christianity has made humanity weak, and that in order for humanity to reach its true potential, these values must be discarded.Nietzsche's one of the most debated thinkers of the 19th century, Nietzsche and his works have been by turns vilified, lauded, and subjected to numerous contradictory interpretations, and yet he remains a figure of profound import, and his works a necessary component of a well-rounded education. The Antichrist is absolutely vital to any meaningful understanding of Nietzsche the man and Nietzsche the philosopher. An insightful and entertaining indictment of Christianity, it has enraged and inspired generations of readers.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (15 de octubre de 1844-Weimar, 25 de agosto de 1900) fue un filósofo, poeta, músico y filólogo alemán, cuya obra ha ejercido una profunda influencia en el pensamiento mundial contemporáneo y en la cultura occidental.
Nietzsche escribió sobre temas tan diversos como el arte, la filología, la música, la historia, la religión, la ciencia o la tragedia. Hizo una crítica de la cultura, la religión y la filosofía occidental mediante la genealogía de los conceptos que las integran, basada en el análisis de las actitudes morales (positivas y negativas) hacia la vida.
Es sumamente destacable la influencia que ejerció sobre Nietzsche el filósofo también alemán Arthur Schopenhauer, a quien consideró su maestro, si bien es cierto que no siguió de manera dogmática las ideas de este último, y en muchos aspectos se aleja de su pensamiento llegando incluso a realizar una crítica radical de sus ideas filosóficas.
