The Genealogy of Morals (Translated by Horace B. Samuel with an Introduction by Willard Huntington Wright)

More about the book

Friedrich Nietzsche's exploration of moral philosophy delves into the origins of moral prejudices through a preface and three essays. He examines the historical conflict between socio-economic classes, the institution of punishment as a creditor-debtor relationship, and the significance of ascetic ideals. Written in response to Paul Rée's work, this 1887 publication expands on Nietzsche's earlier ideas from "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" and "Beyond Good and Evil." The edition features a translation by Horace B. Samuel and an introduction by Willard Huntington Wright.
