Nietzsche referred to his critique of Judeo-Christian moral values as ‘philosophizing with the hammer.’
On the Genealogy of Morals (originally subtitled
A Polemic) is divided into three essays. The first is an investigation into the origins of our moral values, or as Nietzsche calls them ‘moral prejudices.’ The second essay addresses the concept of guilt and its role in the development of civilization and religion. The third essay considers suffering and its role in human existence. What might be of most value to todays reader is not necessarily Nietzsches views on particular ethical issues, but rather his encouragement to think independently and to actualize the self.
Giới thiệu về tác giả
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was born in the village of Röcken in Saxony on October 15, 1844. Nietzsche, whose father was a Lutheran pastor, spent a year as a theology student at the University of Bonn, before studying classical philology at the University of Leipzig. Despite poor health and desperate loneliness, Nietzsche managed to produce a book (or a book-length supplement to an earlier publication) every year from 1878 to 1887. In early January 1889, he collapsed in the street in Turin, Italy, confused and incoherent. He spent the last eleven years of his life institutionalized or under the care of his family.
