Beyond Good and Evil, The Genealogy of Morals
Beyond Good and Evil The Genealogy of Morals Author:Friedrich Nietzsche Perhaps no philosopher has been more misunderstood than Nietzsche. Here are two of his most representative and powerful philosophical treatises on morality & ethics, presented in their entirety. Beyond Good and Evil (1886) introduces the reader to many of the themes that appear throughout Nietzsche's works: the contrast between mas... more »ter and slave morality; the origins and functions of Christian morality; and the sufferings that damage individuals instead of redeeming them. The Genealogy of Morals (1887) is Nietzsche's great treatise on ethics. It contains three essays: the first returns to the theme of master and slave; the second discusses Christian morality; and the third is a commentary on an aphorism from his Thus Spake Zarathustra. This volume offers an opportunity to read Nietzsche whole, not those portions of his work extremists have excerpted and adapted for their own purposes. « less
