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

重新审视善与恶。人人都以为自己知道何为善、何为恶。这些规则似乎永恒不变。

The world of the book

在瑞士构思、写给全欧洲的书。序言于1885年署于锡尔斯-玛丽亚,那是瑞士阿尔卑斯山中的一个村庄,作者常在那里度夏。
