# Beyond Good and Evil prints an anti-egalitarian brief against democratic modern ideas

Date: 1886

## The fact

In 1886 Jenseits von Gut und Böse appeared with a sustained public attack on equality, parliamentary habits, and ‘modern ideas’.

It is one event.

## Context

A critique of herd morality can be a philosophical gain on a method row.

[Friedrich Nietzsche](/people/friedrich-nietzsche)’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers date the row.

## Evidence and sources

eKGWB, Gutenberg BGE, and Stanford’s moral-political entry independently quote the anti-egalitarian programme.

Official or archival record: Nietzsche Source — Digital Critical Edition (eKGWB) (https://doc.nietzschesource.org/en/ekgwb; Nietzsche Source / Paolo D’Iorio).

## Significance

A European philosophical bestseller teaching rank against democracy is a resilience cost.

BGE is not the 1895 Antichrist volume.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 1886 public BGE with those pages. Not established: a unique vote-share caused by the book.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Friedrich Nietzsche.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date, signatory, or non-occurrence; a demonstrated forgery; or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of other causes.

Contribution type is direct. They are not a public rating.
