When modern philosophy tries to integrate the human mind in the form of standardized and systematic discourse, Nietzsche is almost the only modern person who uses maxims to engage in philosophy. In a sense, aphorism is indeed the most suitable tool found by Nietzsche, because aphorism is characterized by high individualization, opposition to * * * knowledge, high independence without relying on any specific situation, and its number one enemy is mediocrity-this is also the biggest difference between aphorism and proverb. Although one aphorism and another aphorism can be printed one after another and read by people, they can completely reject the context provided by the context, and open a new meaning space through contradictions, ironies, hints, exceptions, reversals and other means. But on the other hand, just because aphorism is a subjective assertion, it also means "to be continued", and it looks forward to supplementing, refuting and confronting from various new perspectives.

In Nietzsche's later philosophical works, although his writing is no longer as short and jumping as his earlier works, his playing with maxims is more and more perfect. In the tight and meticulous writing of The Other Side of Good and Evil, a chapter of aphorism was accidentally pierced-just like throwing a dagger at the reader. Here, we have selected some aphorisms to see how Nietzsche cut out a new perspective for his readers, a philosophical space that "transcends good and evil".

The Other Side of Good and Evil by East China Normal University Press

is a companion to The Pedigree of Morality. This book consists of a preface, nine chapters and a finale, including philosophical comments, aphorisms, short comments, poems and other discourse styles. What is knowledge? Why do you want to know? What is the essence of religion? What is the relationship between religion and philosophy? It can be called the grand prelude of Nietzsche's future philosophy. Nietzsche, as always, "engaged in philosophy with a hammer" in this book, lashed out at the western metaphysical tradition, especially Platonism, and the most important "will to power" in Nietzsche's late thoughts was also highlighted in this book, which became a key concept to help people get rid of all kinds of prejudices and stand on the other side of good and evil for sincere thinking.
