THE GENEALOGY OF MORALS - Including Ecce Homo Autobiography & Nietzsche's Personal Letters (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. Origins of Value, Guilt, Asceticism, and Moral PowerBy Friedrich Nietzsche
Length18h 19m
About this audiobook
In The Genealogy of Morals, Nietzsche offers one of modern philosophy's most unsettling investigations into the origins of value, guilt, punishment, asceticism, and conscience. Written in his compressed, aphoristic, and polemical style, the work dismantles inherited moral certainties by tracing them to historical struggles of power, resentment, and psychological need. With Ecce Homo and selected personal letters included, this edition places the treatise within the wider drama of Nietzsche's self-interpretation and late intellectual intensity. Friedrich Nietzsche, trained as a classical philologist and shaped by Greek tragedy, Schopenhauer, Wagner, illness, solitude, and exile from academic life, wrote against the moral and metaphysical assumptions of nineteenth-century Europe. His critique of Christianity, democracy, pity, and philosophical idealism emerged from a profound concern with cultural decline and the possibility of human self-overcoming. Ecce Homo reveals the provocative self-consciousness with which he understood his own mission. This volume is recommended for readers seeking a rigorous encounter with the foundations of ethics, modernity, and the human psyche. It is indispensable for students of philosophy, literature, theology, and intellectual history, and rewarding for anyone prepared to read morality not as a given, but as a problem.
