Friedrich Nietzsche Quotes on Virtue

Nietzsche's mature ethics is organized around the genealogical critique of Christian morality — what he calls slave morality — and the project of transvaluating all values. On the Genealogy of Morality argues that the categories of good and evil familiar to modern Europe arose from a slave revolt in morals: the resentful inversion by which the strong and self-affirming were rebranded as evil and the weak and resentful as good. The Antichrist and Beyond Good and Evil develop the alternative: a master morality of self-affirmation, generosity, intellectual probity, and the discipline of the great solitary creator who gives the law to himself.
