The Genealogy of Morals
Book • 2018
Friedrich Nietzsche's "On the Genealogy of Morality" is a critical examination of morality's historical development.
Nietzsche challenges traditional views of good and evil, arguing that they are not objective truths but rather power dynamics.
He traces the origins of morality to resentment and the will to power, suggesting that morality is a tool used by the weak to control the strong.
The work is divided into three essays, each exploring different aspects of morality's evolution.
Nietzsche's analysis is complex and provocative, challenging readers to reconsider their own moral values and beliefs.
His work continues to spark debate and inspire new interpretations.
