Beyond Good and Evil by Friedrich Nietzsche - Meeting 1 of 2

Hello all! We will meet online for a discussion of the first half of Beyond Good and Evil by Friedrich Nietzsche. (Please read all of "On the Prejudices of Philosophers" through "Natural History of Morals" prior to the meeting.)

Per the publisher, "One of the most remarkable and influential books of the nineteenth century—Nietzsche's attempt to sum up his philosophy.

In nine parts the book is designed to give the reader a comprehensive idea of Nietzsche's thought and style: they span "The Prejudices of Philosophers," "The Free Spirit," religion, morals, scholarship, "Our Virtues," "Peoples and Fatherlands," and "What Is Noble," as well as epigrams and a concluding poem.

This translation by Walter Kaufmann has become the standard one, for accuracy and fidelity to the eccentricities and grace of the style of the original."

We will split the reading and meetings as follows:
Sun 7/07/24: Meeting 1 - Beginning through "Natural History of Morals" (page 1 to 153)
Sun 8/11/24: Meeting 2 - "We Scholars" to the end (page 154 to 297)
