The Jews#
Summary#
In Nietzsche’s analysis, the Jews are credited with performing a revolutionary “inversion of valuations” that transformed Western morality. Their prophets recast traditional aristocratic values by equating wealth, power, and sensuality with godlessness and wickedness, while elevating poverty and meekness as virtues. This transvaluation marks, for Nietzsche, the beginning of the “slave-insurrection in morals.”
