«La genealogía de la moral» is the philosophical essay by Friedrich Nietzsche, published by Edimat Libros in paperback (216 pages, in Spanish).
In this essay Nietzsche investigates the origin of the concepts of «bueno» and «malo» and their later shift with Judeo-Christian morality. The work analyzes the bad conscience linked to guilt as debt and ends with the meaning of the ascetic ideal and the announcement of the overman.
The volume belongs to the collection «Clásicos de la literatura universal» (no. 98) and includes the complete text with introduction. The work was originally published in 1887.
For philosophy readers and students of contemporary thought interested in Nietzsche.
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.
