Beyond Good and Evil - Audio Book app for iPhone and iPad

In Beyond Good and Evil, Nietzsche attacks past philosophers for their alleged lack of critical sense and their blind acceptance of the past premises in their consideration of morality.

The work attempts to moves "beyond good and evil" in the sense of leaving behind the traditional morality which Nietzsche subjects to a destructive critique in favor of what he regards as an affirmative approach that fearlessly confronts the perspectival nature of knowledge and the perilous condition of the modern individual.

Nietzsche proposes in "Beyond Good and Evil" a system of inquiry and analysis known by the phrase history as critique.

This straightforward manner of investigation leads Nietzsche to question all of cultures most venerated conventions: science, religion, politics, decency and linguistic stock.

He begins this process by overriding tradition when he says "only that which has no history can be defined." An explanation of virtue, for example, can only be written when the defintion eludes all possible requisites of custom and habit.

We cannot properly administer the philosophical aspects of morality except through divine direction, suspicion, or an unexamined dependence on tradition. Because of this, Nietzsche calls to question the foundational premise that it is best for human beings to seek the truth.

How do we know that mendacity isnt better? What is truth, anyway? He disputes the intention of the traditional esoteric venture. He unburdens all sources of cultural incontestability and claims to fixed truth which empties them of their value.

Friedrich Nietzsches concept of a "will to power" is central to his philosophical beliefs, and a recurring theme in his book "Beyond Good and Evil."

When Nietzsche was a budding philosopher, he admired and was influenced by the writings of another philosopher, Arthur Schopenhauer. However, Schopenhauer, like most scientists and philosophers of his day, attributed the "will to live" as the highest motivational life force in nature.

Nietzsche observed that the "will to live" was not life affirming enough and that humankind needed a higher power. Therefore, Nietzsche theorized that living beings were not just motivated by a survival instinct to live.

He understood that beings had a higher need, which he called the "will to power." One can easily interpret Nietzsches "will to power" as a method by which people strive to grow and nurture their creative energies, and interact with the world.

Nietzsche thinks that "will to power" was coupled with humankinds innate nature and passion to create. Nietzsche thinks that this "will to power" was the true driving force of humankind.
