«La genealogía de la moral», a polemical work, is Friedrich Nietzsche's essay, published by Alianza in paperback (203 pages, in Spanish).
Friedrich Nietzsche traces the origin of «bueno» and «malo», linked at their root to nobility and humility, and shows how the Judeo-Christian interpretation changed their meaning. The second treatise analyzes bad conscience as guilt understood in the form of debt; the third treatise examines asceticism and announces the ideal of the superman.
In the El libro de bolsillo collection from Alianza Editorial, Classics section (no. 356), with a translation from German and notes by Andrés Sánchez Pascual. The original text was published in 1887.
A reference work for those interested in philosophy and ethics, particularly for anyone wishing to learn about the Nietzschean critique of traditional morality.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German philosopher and writer who started his career as a classical philologist and turned to philosophy early in his academic career. In 1869, at age 24, he was appointed Professor of Classical Philology at the University of Basel. Plagued by health problems for most of his life, he resigned from the university in 1879. He afterward lived as an independent writer, spending much of his life in relative solitude and financial insecurity while moving between Switzerland, Italy, and southern France in search of climates that might alleviate his condition, and in the following decade, he completed much of his core writing. In 1889, aged 44, he suffered a neurological collapse, and thereafter a complete loss of his mental faculties, with paralysis and vascular dementia; he lived out his remaining 11 years, first under the care of his mother, and later his sister, until his death. His works and his philosophy have fostered not only extensive scholarship but also much popular interest.
