In this daring and insightful work, Nietzsche lays bare the hypocrisies at the foundations of our ideas of morality.
Considering ideas of good and evil, guilt and conscience, and law and violence along the way, On the Genealogy of Morals takes the reader on a journey through the history of value systems in three masterful essays. Through his provocative account, Nietzsche seeks to do nothing less than unravel the mysteries of human nature.
