If only Nietzsche could see the world renowned inspiration and self empowerment he has caused for countless people a century and a half after his death. Insane visionary (quite literally)

[@TheLivingPhilosophy]

Essay three is one of the most insightful things I've ever read. Nietzsche's exploration of the ascetic ideal and its many forms and then how science which we often consider as the antithesis to science is actually the ultimate (and inevitable?) flower of Christianity. Genius. Great video Eternalised there's no way I could make such a great summary of the book in such a short time!!

[@Eternalised]

Thanks so much!! I found it very enlightening as well :)

[@Davlavi]

This channel deserves way more views. Keep up the great videos.

[@Dacademeca]

Dude I need to get this book! Super interesting video!

[@Eternalised]

Thank you! It's a great book for Nietzsche beginners as well, together with Human, All Too Human.

[@lifeislife4537]

One of my favourite books ❤ thanks for your time and effort

[@InfinitiSin]

Love my edgy Boi Nietzsche and of course not forgetting to give some love to Enternalised ;) Great coverage of Genealogy of Morals under exactly 10 minutes.

[@Eternalised]

Thanks a lot InfinitiSin!! Excited to see what content you're going to bring next

[@bryanutility9609]

Seems odd this book wouldn’t be written before Beyond Good & Evil since it is to explain origin of morals.

[@misspy1153]

Your channel is an excellent idea. Thank you. But you speak too quickly to be understood and your diction is also often unintelligible

[@ajax321]

I'm not gonna lie to to you, I honestly think the book is awful, rather it was written awful, just plain cryptic and sometimes incomplete. How you managed to come up with these inferences from that book, we must have been reading two different books.

[@TheExNonGrata]

Dear, Jai Antes Love, I think its actually pretty straightforward, where is it incomplete

[@sadattahmeed7462]

He is not merely inferring things. You need to read and understand more of Nietzshce's work, that's all. I had read Thus Spoke Zarathustra and Beyond Good of Evil before this one, and I had the same opinions on them as you have on this- cryptic, incomplete and incoherent. But as I read more and more about his work, and watched wonderful videos like these, Nietzsche's ideas started to seem more lucid to me. Then I took up Genealogy, and it was a fascinating read (although there are still many parts that went over my head, to be honest). Check out Professor Gregory Sadler's channel, he has long videos explaining the concepts of many classic philosophical books. His 4 part series on the Genealogy of Morals elucidates exactly these points in the video above, but with somewhat different wordings.

[@NerdgazmCS]

should I watch this before reading the book? (well I'm actually about 40 pages into it and it is quite hard to follow along so I thought maybe if I watch this first it will help me understand more, thoughts?)

[@Eternalised]

Absolutely! These 10 min book videos are intended to make people pick up the book and read it. There's not really "spoilers" since its very philosophical and learning-oriented. I think this video gives you a good idea of the theme of the book. You can ask any questions as well here. :)

[@NerdgazmCS]

@@Eternalised cheers man, keep up the amazing work! :)

[@Eternalised]

Thanks a lot!

[@martinrea8548]

I just finished reading it-very tough going and, in all honesty, I don't know did I get anything out of the book that I wouldn't have had from just watching this video. I don't know is it down to translation or not (I know Nietzsche is regarded as one of the best writers of prose in German) but I found it dense, verbose and, at times, downright precious. My version came with Beyond Good and Evil and I gave up reading that completely. I don't know will I bother reading any more Nietzsche. How did you get on with it?

[@TheExNonGrata]

@@martinrea8548 If you gave up reading beyond good and evil, it might explain why you didn't get anything out of the book, beyond good and evil is the prelude to geneology and it is also the negation of many philsophies that came before this, Nietzsche should not be the place to start when one starts philosophy - I learned that the hard way.

[@PhilosophyToons]

Great video! As someone who hasn't read this book yet, it seems like a great resource to return to to see the organization of the essays and the ideas inside.

[@Eternalised]

Thanks! Glad you liked it my friend

[@kyledichiera]

The comment I seen first when clicking this said “I read this book in jail”… I also read this book in jail and the 19 volumes. “He seeks truth to do good” my personal favorite quote of a human I’ve ever discovered through linguistics. Morals and ethics good and or bad are a choice, the only dividing factors are knowledge and mistakes. No one can be perfect ultimately. Learn from mistakes and become better for good and everything falls into place. We are creating monsters in society and we always want more but cannot be more at the same time. We are entertaining the mind not the soul. One can control and the other is in control.. it’s all a choice.

[@lalsenarath]

My idea is goodness was originated when the species stopped cannibalism. With cannibalism progress of the species was impossible. Then came parenthood, and mother's love this was necessary for advanced species to thrive. Mother need to teach how to hunt, this need mother's love towards cubs. Concept of goodness developed more when species started to live in communities. Though it is difficult to say exactly how it evolved, take an ant or bee collany, they need goodness not to kill each other and thrive in a cohesive manner. But ants evolved much before mamals.

[@Eternalised]

Interesting view. I have to look into it, do you have any sources/books or recommendations on this topic?

[@TheExNonGrata]

When you say goodnes, do you mean, the opposite of bad? or Evil?

[@blackwhip8028]

​@@TheExNonGrata I interpreted Nietzsche as him saying that Good is the absence of evil, and Evul the absence of good. This idea came into my head abd this inherently diagreed with the common intellectual view on good and evil as a melting pot of grays made from 2 ingredients, white and black. But instead, it behaves sort of like temperature, where they have to inhabit some thing to sustain the other.

I'm writing an essay about this book and your video is very impressive. Well done.

You're welcome Victor! That means a lot!

[@sameoldsameold264]

I looove your channel! Please, please make more videos. These are absolutely wonderful, thank you!

[@InspirationFromThePast]

Genealogy of morals by Nietzsche was certainly one of those important written works for modern philosophy which is still very relevant today thank you for your short narration of it it helps a lot for those who are short on time to read a full book.

[@Eternalised]

You're very welcome! Thanks for the kind comment. :)

[@thejew1789]
