Sections in this chapter11
- Friedrich Nietzsche, The Genealogy of Morals, translated by Horace B. Samuel. Read the preface §§3–6 for the research question, First Essay §§10–13 for ressentiment and the moral contrasts, Second Essay §§1–4 and §§12–22 for responsibility and bad conscience, and Third Essay §§12–15 and §§23–28 for interpretation, the priest, and truth.
- Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, translated by Helen Zimmern, especially §260. Compare its compressed moral typology with the Genealogy's longer arguments; the types are an entry into inquiry, not a substitute for its evidence.
