Publisher's Synopsis
Each "Briefly" volume provides a very short chapter setting the scene by explaining who this writer is and why this book in particular was so important, or why it became so important to Western thought. This short contextualising chapter is then followed by an in-depth summary of the book in question. This includes line by line analysis and short quotes to give students a feel for the original text. Essentially a "Briefly" will allow students to become familiar with a key philosophical work in a very short time, but without missing out on the relevant parts of the original work. A glossary of terms follows the summary to help students with definitions of philosophical terms. This Briefly guide is a summary of Beyond Good and Evil by Friedrich Nietzsche. Designed to assist AS and A level students, as well as university students and the general reader, in acquiring knowledge and understanding of this key philosophical text, enabling the reader to follow each development in the argument as it occurs. With suggestions for further reading and an extensive glossary of terms found in Beyond Good and Evil, this Briefly is a thorough introduction for those starting their study of Nietzsche and his work.
