Publisher's Synopsis
The book presents the content of German philosophical knowledge. In this book, the author attacks philosophers of the past for their alleged lack of critical sense and blind acceptance of Christian premises when considering ethics. The work moves into the realm of "beyond good and evil" in the sense of leaving behind traditional morality, which he introduces into a destructive critique in favor of what he considers an affirmative approach to fear in the face of the perverse nature of knowledge and peril.
