Part 1/5:
Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morality: A Critique of Slave Morality
The Roots of Slave Morality
Friedrich Nietzsche's "Genealogy of Morality" presents a scathing critique of the values and origins of Christian and egalitarian morality. Nietzsche argues that this "slave morality" emerged from the resentment and ressentiment of the weak and oppressed, who sought to invert the values of the powerful "master morality" of the aristocratic class.
