    Nietzsche’s beyond good and evil: A morality of immoralism
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2012) Oyeshile, Olatunji A.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) presents a radical and enigmatic approach to existentialism by over emphasizing the attributes of subjectivity of the individual over the group, community and God, especially the Christian God. This essays takes a critical appraisal of the major presuppositions of Nietzsche, especially as contained in his work Beyond Good and Evil (1886) which is a major amalgam of Nietzsche’s works on existentialism. The essay concludes that notwithstanding the empowerment Nietzsche’s gives to man through the Will to power and the concept Superman, his perspective on the absolute freedom and supremacy of man over human institutions which serve regulatory functions are counter-functional to social order as they obscure our thorough sense of morality.
