When Nietzsche published Beyond Good and Evil in 1886, he told a   friend that it was a book that would not be read properly until "around the year 2000."   Now Laurence Lampert sets out to fulfill this prophecy by providing a section by section   interpretation of this philosophical masterpiece that emphasizes its unity and depth as a   comprehensive new teaching on nature and humanity.  According to Lampert, Nietzsche   begins with a critique of philosophy that is ultimately affirmative, because it shows how   philosophy can arrive at a defensible ontological account of the way of all beings.   Nietzsche next argues that a new post-Christian religion can arise out of the affirmation   of the world disclosed to philosophy. Then, turning to the implications of the new   ontology for morality and politics, Nietzsche argues that these can be reconstituted on the   fundamental insights of the new philosophy. Nietzsche's comprehensive depiction of this   anti-Platonic philosophy ends with a chapter on nobility, in which he contends that what   can now be publicly celebrated as noble in our species are its highest achievements of   mind and spirit.
