Jenseits von Gut und Böse war das Denken in der prähistorischen Zeit, in der Handlungen nach ihrer Wirkung beurteilt wurden. Die Moral kam erst, als man Handlungen nach ihrer Absicht beurteilte. Nietzsches Forderung war, wieder zu der Perspektive der vormoralischen Zeit zurückzukehren.

Though Twilight of the Idols (written in a week in 1888 and subtitled How to Philosophise with a Hammer) came near the end of Nietzsche's creative life, he actually recommended it as a starting point for the study of his work. This was because from the beginning he viewed it as an introduction to his wide-ranging views.
After an opening chapter of aphorisms - 'Maxims and Arrows' – he takes a challenging look at 'The Problem of Socrates', continues...

In The Antichrist, Nietzsche expands on his view that the submissive nature of Christianity undermined Western society, depressing and sapping energy. Using a challenging, aphoristic style, he considers 'good' and 'bad', Buddhism and Christianity,...
