FAQ About Friedrich Nietzsche

Nietzsche critiqued traditional morality, which he saw as life-denying and based on herd conformity. In works like Beyond Good and Evil and On the Genealogy of Morals, he analyzed the origins and functions of various moral systems, classifying them into 'master' and 'slave' moralities. He argued that modern moral systems are rooted in a 'slave morality', which values traits like humility and pity to suppress the strong and creative.
