A review by noahtato
Beyond Good and Evil by Friedrich Nietzsche

challenging slow-paced

1.25

Nietzsche’s follow up to Zarathustra is based around a concept that I truly believe is the basic for incredible productive and intricate ideas. He deftly scribbles circles around these ideas and weaves in and out of meaning and meaninglessness. The problem is that he never sticks the landing and often clouds his meaning in unintelligible linguistic and ideological paraphernalia. The execution of his concepts is negligible and coupled with a pervasively retrogressive moral stance on sexism and national identity, the book entirely undoes itself by the end. However, it is highly possible and in my opinion likely that Nietzsche intended this. I will eventually read this again.
