The Church#
Summary#
The Church imposed upon itself the task of reversing all estimates of value, casting suspicion on earthly beauty and power, and breaking down the autonomous, conquering instincts natural to the highest type of man. Its work fused “unworldliness,” “unsensuousness,” and the concept of the “higher man” into one sentiment, contributing to what Nietzsche calls the production of a dwarfed, mediocre, gregarious species.
