We delve into On The Genealogy of Morality(In English, 2023 Revision).
Prologue.
In 1887, at the age of 44, Nietzsche published 'The Genealogy of Morality.' It was a period of self-reflection known as the Little Snow of the Winter of Fate. He concluded the era of classical literature and dedicated himself to existential philosophy through personal experience. By employing a genealogical methodology, Nietzsche contrasted slave morality and master morality, transforming the notions of good and evil into the moral values of good and bad. Goodness affirmed and elevated life with an aristocratic will, while badness denied and degenerated life with a slavish will. The moral concept of sin originated not from a Christian standpoint but from the material concept of a debtor owing a debt to a creditor. Cruelty was understood as a celebration of self-affirmation, surpassing the nihilism of self-contempt and self-denial. 'The Genealogy of Morality' introduced the concept of the ?bermensch, who strives to create new values by transcending the reality of nihilism.
