William Ebenstein, Political Thought in Perspective
Essays on the great political theorists by their successors
"Very few of the great political theorists have failed to comment with a freshness and originality equal to their own genius on the ideas of their predecessors. Lenin wrote on Marx, and Trotsky reinterpreted the work of Lenin. Aristotle evolved a philosophical system based in part upon his judgment of Plato, and St. Thomas Aquinas re-examined Aristotle in his own terms. By thus allowing the theorists to discuss each other, Professor Ebenstein has combined the best elements of a book about political thought with the excitement of the great writers themselves."

Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future
“After kicking open the doors to twentieth-century philosophy in Thus Spake Zarathustra, Friedrich Nietzsche refined his ideal of the superman with the 1886 publication of Beyond Good and Evil. Conventional morality is a sign of slavery, Nietzsche maintains, and the superman goes beyond good and evil in action, thought and creation. Nietzsche especially targets what he calls a ‘slave morality’ that fosters herdlike quiescence and stigmatizes the ‘highest human types.’
“In this pathbreaking work, Nietzsche’s philosophical and literary powers are at their height: with devastating irony and flashing wit he gleefully dynamites centuries of accumulated conventional wisdom in metaphysics, morals, and psychology, clearing a path for such twentieth-century innovators as Thomas Mann, André Gide, Sigmund Freud, George Bernard Shaw, André Malraux, and Jean-Paul Sartre, all of whom openly acknowledged their debt to him.
“Students of philosophy and literature as well as general readers will prize this rich sampling of Nietzsche’s thought in an unabridged and inexpensive edition of one of the philosopher’s most important works.”
Translated from the German (Jenseits von Gut und Böse) by Helen Zimmern.
