A review by dzengota
On the Genealogy of Morals, by Friedrich Nietzsche
4.0
It almost feels like a betrayal of any book (especially since this isn't my first Nietzsche) to consider so strongly its broader reception and context, but both this and Beyond Good and Evil are hilarious for how much Nietzsche loathes anti-Semites in particular.
Although there are still many of his works to read, I have a hard time seeing this as anything else but the best introduction to him. It covers many key tenants (amor fati, will to power), overtly highlights his aphorisms and justifies his position in regards to other philosophers (Plato, Kant and Schopenhauer in particular).
