Beyond Good and Evil by Friedrich Nietzsche ~ Full Audiobook [philosophy]

Beyond Good and Evil by Friedrich Nietzsche audiobook.

Genre: philosophy

In Beyond Good and Evil, Friedrich Nietzsche launches a provocative investigation into the hidden motives behind moral beliefs and the cultural assumptions people treat as timeless truths. Written as a series of sharp, energetic sections rather than a single linear argument, the book challenges readers to question ideas such as objective morality, absolute truth, and the comforting stories societies tell themselves about virtue and vice. Nietzsche targets the legacy of traditional European philosophy and religion, arguing that many 'higher' ideals can mask deeper drives: the will to interpret, to rank, to control, and to give life a meaning that favors certain types of people. Along the way he examines the psychology of philosophers, the social power of moral language, the tension between individual creativity and herd conformity, and the costs of intellectual honesty. With aphorisms that move from biting critique to visionary calls for new values, Nietzsche invites readers to look past familiar categories of good and evil and confront the unsettling possibility that moral systems are human creations, shaped by history, temperament, and struggle. The central conflict is the reader's own: whether to cling to inherited certainties or risk a harder freedom of thought.
