In conceiving of a world beyond good and evil, beyond the fleeting preoccupations of the human condition. Nietzsche has transcended “the mark” as he called it and turned it to a philosophical goal. Philosophy had become his consolation for a life of disappointment and deep rooted loneliness.

His last sane action (before he got admitted to mental asylum) in January 1889 at the sight of a horse fell overburdened and slept on ice, Netzsche went over and put his arms around the horse. He was able to express in one of his last gestures to the world profound sympathy for the living conditions which both humans and animals share.

hi Bundokji

his last actions seemed they were an act of "goodness"

however, about a world beyond good & evil, this can only arise from non-action

for example, if i decide to watch television or to enjoy some fine wine, these decisions certainly arise from the perceptions "TV is good"; "wine is good"

for a Buddhist perspective, the following may be of interest: Good, Evil and Beyond: Kamma in the Buddha's Teaching

regards
