Nietzsche and morality
Details
We continue with nineteenth century responses to the challenges of industrialisation and modernity, moving on from Mill's liberalism and Marx's communism, with a view which seeks to question the underlying value systems of European culture and to assert a new, life-affirming approach. Our text is On The Genealogy of Morality (the title is also translated in some editions as On The Genealogy of Morals) by Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900), perhaps his most accomplished polemic attacking the foundations of Christianity and traditional morality and advocating a different approach.
