Book summary

Here Nietzsche attacks the certainties of philosophers, who claim to seek the truth without bias. He asks where our ideas of good and evil come from, and distinguishes a master morality, which celebrates strength and pride, from a slave morality, which makes virtues of humility and pity.

A provocative book that makes you ask why you believe what you believe. It gave us a famous line: “if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you”.

Written in fragments, often very short ones, it can be read one aphorism at a time, at your own pace, in the language you are learning.

The plot

선과 악을 다시 묻다. 누구나 무엇이 선이고 무엇이 악인지 안다고 생각한다. 이 규칙들은 영원해 보인다.

The world of the book

스위스에서 구상한, 유럽 전체를 위한 책. 서문은 1885년, 저자가 여름을 보내던 스위스 알프스의 마을 질스마리아에서 쓰였다.
