Beyond Good and Evil

Review

This was one of the most influential book I have read in a long time What are morals? who made them? Who decided what is right or wrong?

Nietzsche challenges the assumption that “good” and “evil” are universal truths. They are historically constructed. Values emerge from power dynamics and psychological needs.

He also stated that Philosophers often disguise personal instincts as “objective truth” calling all philosopher “Dogmatic” . It have a really famous quote in initial chapters

Supposing truth to be a woman – what? is the suspicion not well founded that all philosophers, when they have been dogmatists, have had little understanding of women? that the gruesome earnestness, the clumsy importunity with which they have hitherto been in the habit of approaching truth have been inept and improper means for winning a wench?
