<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The great 19th-century philosopher refines his previously expressed ideal of the superman in one of his most important works, a fascinating examination of human values and morality. Publisher's Note.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>After kicking open the doors to twentieth-century philosophy in <i>Thus Spake Zarathustra, </i> Friedrich Nietzsche refined his ideal of the superman with the 1886 publication of <i>Beyond Good and Evil.</i> Conventional morality is a sign of slavery, Nietzsche maintains, and the superman goes beyond good and evil in action, thought, and creation.
