About this listen
Continuing where Thus Spoke Zarathustra left off, Nietzsche's controversial work Beyond Good and Evil is one of the most influential philosophical texts of the 19th century and one of the most controversial works of ideology ever written.
Attacking the notion of morality as nothing more than institutionalised weakness, Nietzsche criticises past philosophers for their unquestioning acceptance of moral precepts. Nietzsche tried to formulate what he called "the philosophy of the future".
Alex Jennings reads this new translation by Ian Johnston.

Just So Nietzsche.
Good listen while working.
No surprises, No pretence, just a book of thoughts and ideas.

Worthwhile. The summaries are a godsend
Nietzsche waffles on a great deal, which makes large chunks of this tedious. The summaries provided at the start of each chapter are incredibly useful as a result, enabling you to ask, "What the hell was he on about again?" only to be reminded of the introduction.
Worthwhile.

Beyond human decency
This is an interesting treatise on 19th century European life. Offers up some interesting criticism of the Western philosophical tradition and the assumptions made since the Greeks. Ironically, then proceeds to make wider assumptions about the natural ‘free spirit’ ‘noble’ masters of this world. There are times where this feels almost satirical as it jumps from critical engagements, aphorisms and poetry espousing the suffering of these leaders, while generally dismissing women, the polis and everyone else who does not have the ‘will to power’.
I’m glad I listened but Nietzche is a piece of work and not someone to apply to your life.
