Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morality 2/4 (Treatise 1)

In a four-part series, Dr. David M. Peña-Guzmán discusses Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morality. In this second lecture, he discusses Treatise 1, where Nietzsche introduces his famous distinction between two codes of moral evaluation: the morality of the nobles and the morality of the slaves. Who are the nobles? And how do they differ from the slaves? And what kind of moral revolt took place when the slavish morality of the Christians, according to Nietzsche, won over the life-affirming morality of the nobles?

When will the last 2 parts be uploaded? This was by far one of the best & most accessible videos in this book on youtube

[@Circusflea00]

Yes please! Also looking forward to the last two parts! Your videos have been very helpful!

[@jerrypeters1157]

Wow! I'm Looking forward to the last two parts! Thanks for this!

[@MyNameJim]

Your videos are so helpful Dr Peña-Guzmán. Can't wait to watch this later today!

[@tb8827]

Well explained. Thank you😊

Brilliant presentation. I’ve been looking forward to this since you did part one. You are allowing me to recapture much of what I liked about Nietzsche when I read him for class 25 years ago. In that class, I thought this was his best book (so much better than the bad poetry in Zarathustra!), and you have greatly enhanced my understanding of its continuing relevance.

[@stuartschwartz234]

Bravo! That great inversion of what it means to be good. just read parts one and two, and this was a great confirmation of my understanding.

[@dilbyjones]

Great one.

[@aylinisabel5996]

Thank you, very helpful!

[@DjTahoun]

thank you so much 😇

[@bobcabot]

ja the whole thing becomes even more intriguing regarding the question who did change the world for real and if we live indeed in the best all worlds...

[@jimbennett834]

Love you guys and this is a great video. But someone really needs to proofread the text overlays. There are typos in almost every one.

[@damoon57]

Where is the part 3 and 4 ? 😊

[@rockugotcha]

Is it meticulously selected or just coincidence that you wear the same T-shirt from the first part of this series? Anyway your lectures of Nietzsche are really valuable.

[@TheDavidpena]

I didn’t even think about this but I recorded them in the same day. The next one will have a different look, although now I wonder whether I should make this my genealogy shirt 😂

Do unto others.. it works for me.

[@JB-qh3dn]

Maybe the definition of the trigger word can come first and preface the lecture? Is not the beginning misleading?

Two things… Lots of audio burps/clipping… some examples - 2:30 “act” 2:42 “bad” 2:49 “act” 3:15 “thought” Enjoying the content🙏 but feeling sad about this one. I think I get the noble/chivalric aristocratic morality, but the slave/priestly morality (14:48ff) seems to fly in the face of so much - Jewish history, the Holy Roman Empire, the Reformation, common Christian values, slaves and their rebellions, and more. These two categories as defined also seem to leave out other views of morality… weird! Since I don’t think Nietzsche is a dummy, there’s something elemental I’m not getting.☹️

[@m1ar1vin]

Priests invented slave morality to justify their own weakness. The reason they don't hit back, is not because of "virtue" but because of weakness, which they then proceed to call virtue. Seems like you are quite wrong in this point.

[@PaulTenenbaum]

Wait a second. What about Jesus' command to love even your enemies? Isn't that showing compassion for evil people?

[@supergamesgaming5677]

It's important to realize that most of the time which Nietzsche talked about Christianity he is not inherently talking about christ, but instead saint Paul and the forth coming churches. About Jesus himself he said that he died too early but also that he was stupid so it's kind of a complexer relationship.
