## Description

Written in response to a book on the origins of morality by his erstwhile friend Paul Rée, the three essays comprising The Genealogy of Morals — all three advancing the critique of Christian morality set forth in Beyond Good and Evil — are among Nietzsche's most sustained and cohesive work. In the first essay — starting from a linguistic analysis of words such as "good," "bad," and "evil" — Nietzsche sets up a contrast between what he calls "master" morality and "slave" morality and shows how strength and action have often been replaced by passivity and nihilism. The next essay, looking into the origins of guilt and punishment, shows how the concept of justice was born — and how internalization of this concept led to the development of what people called "the soul." In the third essay, Nietzsche dissects the meaning of ascetic ideals. It is not Nietzsche's intention to reject ascetic ideals, "slave" morality, or internalized values out of hand; his main concern is to show that culture and morality, rather than being eternal verities, are human-made. Whether or not you agree with all of his conclusions, his writing is of such clarity and brilliance that you will find reading The Genealogy of Morals nothing short of exhilarating.

Review: Fascinating read… - While many esoteric points remain difficult to follow, the philosophical implications are undeniable…and will leave my way of thinking forever changed.
Review: Important indepth strong perspective - Great book print is small. Fascinating writing. I have to reread the paragraphs over to get the correct understanding

Great book print is small. Fascinating writing. I have to reread the paragraphs over to get the correct understanding

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ good read, can use a footnote or two, but good value,,,,
*by A***. on October 29, 2022*

This is an affordable and easy to carry work from the great German philosopher himself. A casual reader of his work may find a challenge or two in reading this because there's some huge paragraphs larded with untranslated phrases from other languages, and a distinct lack of footnotes to contextualize some of what he's saying and how it relates to other concepts and the historical time that he is saying it. My man FN also never met a sentence he couldn't make longer or more complex. To be honest, even someone familiar with FN is going to work to extract the meaning from his work. Worth it. That said, he was never going to be an easy read and to flesh out some concepts he chose a challenging style. He is an interesting writer. Will have to revisit my Kauffman, or check other translations to see where they stand in regards to this. Verdict: Recommended.
