Summary

Beyond Good and Evil (BGE) is often considered to be one of Friedrich Nietzsche's greatest books. Nietzsche's life is the story of a man who from the beginning of his adult life, until the sudden and catastrophic end of his productive period, was confronted with embarrassing and humiliating experiences. This chapter looks more closely at some aspects of BGE itself. In order to appreciate the distinctive approach which Nietzsche favors in BGE in his dealings with what he calls modernity, it might be worthwhile to say a few words about his more general outlook. The chapter discusses the origin and the meaning of philosophical values such as truth, the religious practice of establishing and enforcing specific values such as faith, piety, and love of man, and the motives and mechanisms involved in the cultivation of moral values such as pity, fairness, and willingness to help each other.
