Continuing where Thus Spoke Zarathustra left off, Nietzsche's controversial work Beyond Good and Evil is one of the most influential philosophical texts of the nineteenth century and one of the most controversial works of ideology ever written. Attacking the notion of morality as nothing more than institutionalised weakness, Nietzsche criticises past philosophers for their unquestioning acceptance of moral precepts. Nietzsche tried to formulate what he called 'the philosophy of the future'. Alex Jennings reads this new translation by Ian Johnston.

      God is dead--now what? Amplifying his earlier volume THUS SPOKE ZARATHUSTRA, German philosopher Nietzsche criticizes, among other things, Christian moral precepts and the belief in the perfectibility of the human race. To him, concerns of good and evil are beside the point. He eschews making a logical argument, choosing instead to expound his ideas as aphoristic revelation. His hyperbolic style is not only difficult to translate but not always clear in the original language. Perhaps that's why this production interrupts the text with extended glosses, some of which are as obscure as the words they attempt to explicate. Alex Jennings reads Nietzsche's text in a somewhat supercilious tone. Roy McMillan delivers the translator's elucidations with admirable attention to clarity. Both have agreeable, listener-friendly British voices. Y.R. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
