A genealogia da moral

By Friedrich Nietzsche

Nesta obra Nietzsche questiona não somente as origens da moralidade na história do homem, mas sua aplicação em todos os atos do ser humano. O binômio bem e mal, bom e mau, surge por influência de interesses de um poder dominante, de uma classe que se considera superior para estabelecer e expandir seu domínio sobre outra classe inferior. Pecado, erro, poder, moral, paixões, repressão, religião... Tudo num mesmo caldeirão onde esta obra busca dissecar cada um deles e responder a questionamentos de forma direta e contundente, no melhor estilo Nietzsche.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher and author. Born into a line of Protestant churchman, Nietzsche studied Classical literature and language before becoming a professor at the University of Basel in Switzerland. He became a philosopher after reading Schopenhauer, who suggested that God does not exist, and that life is filled with pain and suffering. Nietzsche’s first work of prominence was The Birth of Tragedy in 1872, which contained new theories regarding the origins of classical Greek culture. From 1883 to 1885 Nietzsche composed his most famous work, Thus Spake Zarathustra, in which he famously proclaimed that “God is dead.” He went on to release several more notable works including Beyond Good and Evil and The Genealogy of Morals, both of which dealt with the origins of moral values. Nietzsche suffered a nervous breakdown in 1889 and passed away in 1900, but not before giving us his most famous quote, “From life's school of war: what does not kill me makes me stronger.”
