Beyond Good and Evil

Friedrich Nietzsche

Casa editrice: DigiCat

Sinossi

Friedrich Nietzsche's "Beyond Good and Evil" offers a provocative examination of morality, truth, and the limitations of philosophical thought. Written in 1886, the work is characterized by its aphoristic style, employing sharp wit and incisive arguments that challenge conventional ethical frameworks. Nietzsche critiques the dogmatic nature of traditional philosophy, proposing a re-evaluation of values that transcends binary notions of good and evil. In the context of Enlightenment thought, Nietzsche sets the stage for existentialism and postmodernism, urging readers to embrace a more nuanced understanding of morality that recognizes the complexity of human motives and societal constructs. Nietzsche, a 19th-century German philosopher known for his radical ideas, was steeped in the currents of Romanticism and German Idealism. His personal struggles with health and his deep interest in art, culture, and individualism profoundly influenced his philosophical inquiries. "Beyond Good and Evil" can be seen as a culmination of these interests, reflecting Nietzsche's desire to provoke his contemporaries to think critically about their values in an increasingly nihilistic society. For readers seeking a transformative intellectual experience, "Beyond Good and Evil" is an essential read. It challenges us to confront our own moral assumptions and encourages a courageous rethinking of life's foundational tenets, making it a vital piece of literature for anyone interested in philosophy, ethics, and the complexities of the human experience.

From Pulpit to Podium to Policy

Dr. Richard Tobias PhD

Today, many fundamentalist Christian members of Congress find it simpler and more comforting to disregard complexity and science when creating US law and, instead, wield faith like a righteous sword. In the making of new legislation, these Congressmen go so far as to cite biblical events, claiming, for instance, that the Great Flood was an example of climate change, although, “…that certainly wasn’t because mankind had overdeveloped hydrocarbon energy.” These Christian lawmakers even make frequent allusions to being ‘led by’ or ‘inspired by’ God when deciding legal policies and ignore scientific findings that contradict their faith in favor of legislation that benefits powerful corporations. 
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..." Thus reads the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. Yet, as Dr. Richard Tobias argues in From Pulpit to Podium Policy, decisions by the Supreme Court and repeated opposition by strong religious Congressional members against the separation of church and state put the longstanding ideals of democracy in danger.

Sue Dobson, a young white South African woman lives a 'legend'—a life where she pretends to conform, moving easily through the echelons of the racist government in her work as a journalist, whilst concealing her espionage and military training in the Soviet Union, and her intelligence work for the banned African National Congress. 
 
 
 
Matters come to a head when sinister forces try to derail the Namibian independence process and Sue's cover is blown during a difficult honey trap operation, bringing the Cold War to Africa, and leading to her desperate flight across Southern Africa with the Apartheid security police snapping at her heels.
