Methodology and Conclusions

In Beyond Good and Evil, Friedrich Nietzsche employs a philosophical methodology based on critical analysis and deconstruction of traditional moral and philosophical concepts. He rejects dogmatism and proposes a reevaluation of values, aiming to uncover the hidden motives and biases underlying accepted moral norms. Nietzsche uses an aphoristic style, allowing him to express complex ideas in a concise and provocative manner. In his conclusions, Nietzsche asserts that traditional morality, based on the dichotomy of good and evil, is an expression of weakness and a quest for power. He proposes the concept of the 'will to power' as a fundamental principle of human behavior and development. Nietzsche also emphasizes the need to create new values and reevaluate all existing moral norms to achieve true freedom and self-realization.
