In this book, I publish my course notes on Beyond Good and Evil and the Genealogy of Morals by Nietzsche. The courses took place between 2007 and 2009 for a limited audience, as well as in the form of open lectures at the Vasilis and Marina Theocharakis Foundation.

I did not wish to recreate the original form of the notes, as I have done in previous cases, because my aim was to propose a working text and not merely a reading one. I was therefore interested in following Nietzsche's thought and writing in their progression, maintaining the tension of the idea as a key element of the argument, and not waiting for the broader meaning.

Thus, I communicated better with the dense clarity of the text. (... ) [Excerpt from the preface text]
