Description

Friedrich Nietzsche's genealogical analysis in The Genealogy of Morals is an exploration of the historical development of certain moral values, specifically those associated with notions of justice, honour, and good. Taking a critical stance against the Enlightenment-era reception of Kantian morality, Nietzsche argues that these values were formed through a process of power dynamics rather than abstract principles. Read in English, unabridged.

Author

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) is the philosopher who made readers uncomfortable on purpose. He wrote of the will to power, eternal recurrence, and the need to become who you are — not as slogans, but as experiments in living. Thus Spoke Zarathustra turns prophecy into literature; his aphorisms flash and refuse to settle.
