Guides you through one of the most clearly developed statements of Nietzsche's mature philosophy, section by sectionPays sustained attention to the philosophical arguments and rhetorical strategies that inform Beyond Good and Evil and advance its main narrativeCarefully analyses the influential concepts and hypotheses, for example: will to power, the death of God, master-morality vs slave-morality, the order of rank, the noble soul and the return of DionysusProfiles the 'philosophers of the future', whom Nietzsche envisions as 'commanders and legislators'Dedicates a chapter to each section, each including a preview, a summary of sections and a reviewHelpful student features include chronology, a glossary of key terms and a guide to further readingAdopting an interpretative approach throughout, Daniel Conway treats Beyond Good and Evil as a coherent, unified and carefully crafted complete text. When treated this way, the text reveals itself as a guide to the education that Nietzsche prescribes for his best readers, at the brink of the new, post-moral era. Conway makes sense of the overarching aims and structure of the book at the same time as providing a broader context for the arguments Nietzsche makes and the positions he stakes out. Requiring no prior knowledge of the text or of Nietzsche, he guides you through the text with the reward of a more developed reading of the distinctly political agenda that emerges in the second half of Beyond Good and Evil

""Nietzsche is infuriatingly difficult to comprehend as he sets to tearing down every scaffold left from the old world. Beyond Good and Evil represents Nietzsche in his maturity, being written later in life. It is also some of his clearest writing since it is intentionally polemical. None of his writing is known particularly for its moderation, but Beyond Good and Evil is written as an assault on half-hearted philosophers who are still playing about with the old world. But he is a particularly infuriating read for those who see the world as made and ruled by God. He is difficult to understand since he seeks to remove everything that makes such a world comprehensible. But to say this is simply to describe our age, and for this reason Nietzsche is valuable. But be warned, he will not be trifled with. Sit with him and listen as he seeks to remove every vestige of God from the world."
