On the Genealogy of Morals

Viac o knihe

Exploring the complexities of morality, this work delves into the distinctions between master and slave moralities, revealing how the concept of "good" varies significantly across different contexts. It further examines themes of guilt and bad conscience, along with the implications of ascetic ideals in both religion and academia. Nietzsche employs a blend of philosophy, psychology, and classical philology, making the text more accessible than his earlier writings while expanding on ideas from Beyond Good and Evil. The book is structured into three insightful essays.
