Sections in this chapter8
- Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, translated by Helen Zimmern. Read §§1–6 for the value of truth and philosophical motives, §§12–23 for psychology and interpretation, §211 for value legislation, and §§257–260 for hierarchy and moral types. The linked e-text renders most original italics as emphatic capitals.
- Friedrich Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morals, translated by Horace B. Samuel, especially the preface and First Essay. Read it alongside the moral types in §260 rather than treating the brief typology as a complete historical explanation.
