About the book
Across 296 numbered sections in nine parts, Friedrich Nietzsche takes up ideas from Thus Spoke Zarathustra in a more polemical form. He charges earlier philosophers with resting their systems on unexamined moral prejudice, chiefly the belief that good and evil are true opposites. He treats truth, knowledge, self-consciousness and free will as creations of the moral consciousness, and replaces them with the will to power, calling for new philosophers who create values. The parts run from the prejudices of philosophers to what is noble, framed by a short preface and an aftersong titled From High Mountains.
It appears on Jordan B. Peterson's book list, and Mark Manson called it probably the clearest statement of Nietzsche's views: that conventional morality is subjective and that people need to grow toward a higher sense of what has value.
