Jenseits von Gut und Böse

A daring meditation on the foundations of Western thought, this work opens by questioning the very way philosophers have approached truth—treating it as something rigid and masculine, while exposing the limits of their dogmatic methods. It argues that the great traditions of Plato and Christian morality have become stale, urging readers to reconsider what “good” really means beyond inherited doctrines. Through sharp irony and vivid imagery, the author invites a fresh, skeptical stance toward the moral certainties that have shaped modern life.

Divided into nine interconnected sections, the book moves from the critique of philosophical prejudice to the portrait of a “free spirit” who embraces uncertainty. It examines religion, morality, virtues, and the cultural forces that shape our values, all while sprinkling concise, thought‑provoking aphorisms throughout. Listeners will find themselves challenged to look beyond conventional judgments and to explore the possibilities of a philosophy that daringly confronts its own assumptions.
