The Genealogy of Morals

by Friedrich Nietzsche Narrated by George Easton

Overview

Friedrich Nietzsche's genealogical analysis in The Genealogy of Morals is an exploration of the historical development of certain moral values, specifically those associated with notions of justice, honour, and good. Taking a critical stance against the Enlightenment-era reception of Kantian morality, Nietzsche argues that these values were formed through a process of power dynamics rather than abstract principles. Read in English, unabridged.
