# The same Genealogy treats pity as a weakening value rather than a duty to the injured

Date: 1887

## The fact

Genealogy publicly teaches that pity (Mitleid) is a danger to the strong and a tool of the weak.

It is one event.

## Context

A critique of sentimental politics can be honest and can thin the duty to relieve. Medium-high confidence on the printed counsel; no famine series is attached.

[Friedrich Nietzsche](/people/friedrich-nietzsche)’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers date the row.

## Evidence and sources

Stanford’s moral-political entry and the 1887 text independently centre the attack on pity.

Official or archival record: Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy — Nietzsche’s Moral and Political Philosophy (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/nietzsche-moral-political/; Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy).

## Significance

Printed anti-pity in a European classic is a humanitarian-norm cost.

Pity-critique is not the 1870 medical orderly service.

Printed anti-pity in a European classic is a humanitarian-norm cost.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 1887 public anti-pity argument. Not established: a unique relief-budget coefficient.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Friedrich Nietzsche.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date, signatory, or non-occurrence; a demonstrated forgery; or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of other causes.

Contribution type is direct. They are not a public rating.
