Friedrich Nietzsche

The Genealogy of Morals (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Written in response to a book on the origins of morality by his erstwhile friend Paul Rée, the three essays comprising The Genealogy of Moralsall advancing the critique of Christian morality set forth in Beyond Good and Evilare among Nietzsche's most sustained and cohesive work.
In the first essay, 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up a contrast between what he calls "master" morality and "slave" morality and shows how strength and action have often been replaced by passivity and nihilism.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 bornand 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.

Autorenporträt

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German philosopher, classical scholar, and cultural critic, known for his profound influence on modern thought. Born on October 15, 1844, in R cken, Germany, Nietzsche initially pursued a career as a classical philologist before transitioning to philosophy. His works challenged traditional beliefs, and his critiques of culture, religion, and morality made him one of the most influential philosophers of the 19th century. Nietzsche's writings explored complex concepts such as the "will to power," the " bermensch," and the idea of the eternal recurrence. His works, including "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" and "Beyond Good and Evil," questioned the foundations of Western philosophy and introduced ideas that would later shape existentialism and postmodernism. Nietzsche s intellectual journey was influenced by figures like Arthur Schopenhauer and Fyodor Dostoevsky. He faced personal struggles throughout his life, including mental illness, which led to his decline in health. He passed away on August 25, 1900, in Weimar, Germany, at the age of 55. Nietzsche s parents were Carl Ludwig Nietzsche and Franziska Oehler, and he had a brother, Ludwig Joseph Nietzsche, and a sister, Elisabeth F rster-Nietzsche. His groundbreaking ideas continue to resonate in contemporary philosophy and culture.
