Download or read book On the Genealogy of Morality written by Friedrich Nietzsche and published by Hackett Publishing. This book was released on 1998-03-13 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the Genealogy of Morality contains some of Nietzsche's most disturbing ideas and images: eg the 'slave revolt' in morality, which he claims began with the Jews and has now triumphed, and the 'blond beast' that must erupt, which he claims to find behind all civilisation. It is therefore a major source for understanding why 'Nietzschean' ideas are controversial. Further, it is one of Nietzsche's most important books, a work of his maturity that shows him at the height of his powers both as a thinker and as an artist in the presentation of ideas.

Download or read book Nietzsche s On the Genealogy of Morality written by Simon May and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-13 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the Genealogy of Morality is Nietzsche's most influential, provocative, and challenging work of ethics. In this volume of newly commissioned essays, fourteen leading philosophers offer fresh insights into many of the work's central questions: How did our dominant values originate and what functions do they really serve? What future does the concept of 'evil' have - and can it be revalued? What sorts of virtues and ideals does Nietzsche advocate, and are they necessarily incompatible with aspirations to democracy and a free society? What are the nature, role, and scope of genealogy in his critique of morality - and why doesn't his own evaluative standard receive a genealogical critique? Taken together, this superb collection illuminates what a post-Christian and indeed post-moral life might look like, and asks to what extent Nietzsche's Genealogy manages to move beyond morality.
Download or read book The Genealogy of Morals A Polemic written by Friedrich Nietzsche and published by Aegitas. This book was released on 2024-05-28 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Genealogy of Morals: A Polemic by Friedrich Nietzsche is a thought-provoking and controversial work that delves into the origins and evolution of morality. Originally published in 1887, this three-essay collection has sparked intense debates and critical analysis, making it one of Nietzsche's most influential and enduring works. In this book, Nietzsche sets out to challenge and uproot traditional moral systems, particularly those rooted in Judeo-Christian beliefs. He argues that morality is not objective, but rather a human construct that has been imposed on society by those in positions of power. He rejects the notion of an absolute right or wrong and instead presents a genealogical approach to understanding the development of morals. The first essay, "Good and Evil, Good and Bad," explores Nietzsche's concept of the "slave revolt in morality." He posits that the values of good and evil were originally defined by the ruling class as a means of controlling and subjugating the weak. In this way, the concept of good was associated with qualities such as submission, obedience, and meekness, while evil was associated with strength, independence, and power. Nietzsche argues that this system of morality has been internalized by the masses, leading to the suppression of their natural instincts and desires. In the second essay, "Guilt, Bad Conscience, and Related Matters," Nietzsche delves into the origins of guilt and how it has been used to control and manipulate individuals. He argues that the concept of guilt was created by those in power to maintain their dominance over the weak. This essay also explores the development of the concept of the soul and the role it has played in shaping morality. The final essay, "What is the Meaning of Ascetic Ideals?" delves into the ascetic ideals of self-denial and renunciation. Nietzsche argues that these ideals have been imposed on society in order to suppress the natural instincts and drives of individuals, creating a society of weak and sick individuals. The Genealogy of Morals is a scathing critique of traditional morality and a call to reject these inherited values and create new ones based on an individual's own instincts and desires. Nietzsche's ideas have greatly influenced modern philosophy, psychology, and sociology, and his work continues to be a subject of debate and analysis. However, it is important to note that this book has been subject to criticism for its provocative and often controversial ideas. Some argue that Nietzsche's rejection of traditional morality and emphasis on individualism can lead to a dangerous and amoral society. Others question the validity of his historical analysis and the generalizability of his theories. The Genealogy of Morals is a challenging and thought-provoking read that forces readers to question their deeply ingrained beliefs about morality. It is a polemic against societal norms and a call to embrace one's own instincts and desires. Whether one agrees or disagrees with Nietzsche's ideas, this book remains a crucial piece of literature that continues to influence philosophical discourse.

Download or read book Nietzsche s Psychology of Ressentiment written by Guy Elgat and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ressentiment—the hateful desire for revenge—plays a pivotal role in Nietzsche’s On the Genealogy of Morals. Ressentiment explains the formation of bad conscience, guilt, asceticism, and, most importantly, it motivates the "slave revolt" that gives rise to Western morality’s values. Ressentiment, however, has not enjoyed a thorough treatment in the secondary literature. This book brings it sharply into focus and provides the first detailed examination of Nietzsche’s psychology of ressentiment. Unlike other books on the Genealogy, it uses ressentiment as a key to the Genealogy and focuses on the intriguing relationship between ressentiment and justice. It shows how ressentiment, despite its blindness to justice, gives rise to moral justice—the central target of Nietzsche’s critique. This critique notwithstanding, the Genealogy shows Nietzsche’s enduring commitment to the virtue of non-moral justice: a commitment that grounds his provocative view that moral justice spells the ‘end of justice’. The result provides a novel view of Nietzsche's moral psychology in the Genealogy, his critique of morality, and his views on justice.
Download or read book Nietzsche On the Genealogy of Morality and Other Writings Student Edition written by Friedrich Nietzsche and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-10-30 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Friedrich Nietzsche is one of the most influential thinkers of the past 150 years and On the Genealogy of Morality (1887) is his most important work on ethics and politics. A polemical contribution to moral and political theory, it offers a critique of moral values and traces the historical evolution of concepts such as guilt, conscience, responsibility, law and justice. This is a revised and updated 2006 edition of one of the most successful volumes to appear in Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought. Keith Ansell-Pearson modified his introduction to Nietzsche's classic text, and Carol Diethe incorporated a number of changes to the translation itself, reflecting the considerable advances in our understanding of Nietzsche. In this guise the Cambridge Texts edition of Nietzsche's Genealogy should continue to enjoy widespread adoption, at both undergraduate and graduate level.
Download or read book On the Genealogy of Morals and Ecce Homo written by Friedrich Nietzsche and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2010-04-28 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masterful translations of the great philosopher’s major work on ethics, along with his own remarkable review of his life and works. On the Genealogy of Morals (1887) shows Nietzsche using philsophy, psychology, and classical philology in an effort to give new direction to an ancient discipline. The work consists of three essays. The first contrasts master morality and slave morality and indicates how the term "good" has widely different meanings in each. The second inquiry deals with guilt and the bad conscience; the third with ascetic ideals—not only in religion but also in the academy. Ecce Homo, written in 1898 and first published posthumously in 1908, is Nietzsche's review of his life and works. It contains chapters on all the books he himself published. His interpretations are as fascinating as they are invaluable. Nothing Nietzsche wrote is more stunning stylistically or as a human document. Walter Kaufmann's translations are faithful of the word and spirit of Nietzsche, and his running footnote commentaries on both books are more comprehensive than those in his other Nietzsche translations because these two works have been so widely misunderstood.
Download or read book The Rise of Politics and Morality in Nietzsche s Genealogy written by Jeffrey Metzger and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-11-14 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nietzsche’s On the Genealogy of Morals has become a central text for understanding the thinker and his impact on moral philosophy. Yet his account of the rise of political society and its relation to morality has generally been overlooked, in large part because of its strange and often confusing character. In The Rise of Politics and Morality in Nietzsche’s Genealogy: From Chaos to Conscience, Jeffrey Metzger devotes careful attention to Nietzsche’s analysis of the origin of political society in the Second Essay and its intertwining with the development of morality and religion. Focused on how that account places Nietzsche’s understanding of humanity in his larger conceptions of nature and the will to power, the book further considers how Nietzsche grounds his thought in the world as he presents it, and the strengths and weaknesses of Nietzsche’s approach to this crucial moment in human development. This book will interest philosophers, political theorists, and anyone else interested in Nietzsche and his contribution to our understanding of how we became human.

Tamsin Shaw argues there is a reason for this: that Nietzsche's insights entail a distinctive form of political skepticism.
