Nietzsche rewrites the former as a history of cruelty, exposing the central values of the Judaeo-Christian and liberal traditions - compassion, equality, justice - as the product of a brutal process of conditioning designed to domesticate the animal vitality of earlier cultures. The result is a book which raises profoundly disquieting issues about the violence of both ethics and interpretation. Nietzsche questions moral certainties by showing that religion and science have no claim to absolute truth, before turning on his own arguments in order to call their very presuppositions into question. The Genealogy is the most sustained of Nietzsche's later works and offers one of the fullest expressions of his characteristic concerns. This edition places his ideas within the cultural context of his own time and stresses the relevance of his work for a contemporary audience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note this copy has light fading on the edges of the covers.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eISBN: 9780192836175\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eSize: Paperback, 208 \u003cspan itemprop=\"numberOfPages\"\u003epages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003ePublisher: \u003cspan tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Text Text__body3\"\u003e Oxford University Press\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003ePublished: 1987\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"B - Good Condition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47162735952028,"sku":null,"price":7.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/1597\/0972\/files\/onthegene_2.jpg?v=1784192768","url":"https:\/\/booksforless.co.nz\/products\/on-the-genealogy-of-morals","provider":"Books For Less","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
