'''''Beyond Good and Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future''''' (''Jenseits von Gut und Böse'') is a major 19th century philosophical work by [[Friedrich Nietzsche]].

First published in 1886 at Nietzsche's own expense, the book was not initially considered important. In it, Nietzsche denounced what he considered to be the moral vacuity of 19th century thinkers. He attacked philosophers for what he considered to be their lack of critical sense and their blind acceptance of Christian premises in their considerations of morality and values. ''Beyond Good and Evil'' is a comprehensive overview of Nietzsche's mature philosophy, written partly with the motive of giving further explanation to ideas presented in his previous work, ''[[Thus Spoke Zarathustra|Also Sprach Zarathustra]]'' (or ''Thus Spoke Zarathustra''). Nietzsche's next book, ''[[On the Genealogy of Morals]]'', is meant to serve by way of "supplementation and clarification" to ''Beyond Good and Evil'', and so should be read in this context.
