About “Zur Genealogie der Moral”

On the Genealogy of Morals (1887) is a book about the history of ethics and about interpretation. Nietzsche rewrites the history of ethics as a history of cruelty, exposing central values of the Judaeo-Christian and liberal traditions—compassion, equality, justice—as the product of a brutal process of conditioning designed to domesticate the animal vitality of earlier cultures.
