Genealogy of Morality

string
Book •
In 'On the Genealogy of Morality', Nietzsche delves into the historical origins and psychological underpinnings of moral concepts such as 'good' and 'evil.

' He challenges traditional morality, arguing that it originated from the resentment of the weak toward the strong.

Nietzsche contrasts master morality, which values strength and nobility, with slave morality, which emphasizes humility and compassion.

The book explores how these moral systems have shaped Western culture and contributed to the decline of the 'will to power.

' Nietzsche critiques the ascetic ideal and examines the role of guilt and punishment in the formation of human consciousness.

He calls for a reevaluation of values and a rejection of nihilism, advocating for a new affirmation of life.
