Beyond Good and Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future (1886) by the famous philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche is a remarkable work which offers a treatise on "Perspective of life". "Perspective of life", according to Nietzche, is "beyond good and evil", refuting the existence of a universal morality for all human beings. This works discusses and exposes the deficiencies of so-called "philosophers" and identifies the qualities of the "new philosophers" which are imagination, self-assertion, danger, originality, and the "creation of values". It also contests some of the key presuppositions of the old philosophic tradition like "self-consciousness", "knowledge", "truth", and "free will". The book interestingly offers the "will to power" as an explanation of all behavior.
