The Genealogy of Morals (1887) is Nietzsche's most sustained attempt to trace the origins of our moral concepts — good and evil, guilt, conscience, the ascetic ideal — back to the historical struggles between masters and slaves, nobles and priests. Written as three connected essays, it argues that our highest moral values are not eternal truths but the deposits of resentment, debt, and the will to self-denial. One of the foundational texts of modern philosophy, and the work in which Nietzsche's critique of Christian morality reaches its fullest, most ferocious expression. ⏱ Chapters 0:00 Title 0:10 Preface 22:21 First Essay, "Good And Evil," "Good And Bad.”, Part One 1:00:06 First Essay, "Good And Evil," "Good And Bad.”, Part Two 1:36:02 Second Essay, "Guilt," "Bad Conscience," And The Like, Part One 2:27:54 Second Essay, "Guilt," "Bad Conscience," And The Like, Part Two 3:10:09 Third Essay, What Is The Meaning Of Ascetic Ideals?, Part One 4:00:40 Third Essay, What Is The Meaning Of Ascetic Ideals?, Part Two 4:49:18 Third Essay, What Is The Meaning Of Ascetic Ideals?, Part Three 5:41:35 End 🎙 Credits Text: Project Gutenberg (https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/52319) — public domain Narration: Jeffrey Church via LibriVox (https://librivox.org/the-genealogy-of...) — public domain This LitReads edition — typography, word-level synchronization, composition, and original visual design — © 2026 LitReads.
