# On the Genealogy of Morality prints master/slave moral history including the ‘blond beast’ figure

Date: 1887

## The fact

In 1887 Zur Genealogie der Moral publicly retold morals as a slave revolt and used the blond beast as a figure of noble predation.

It is one event.

## Context

A genealogy can unmask cruelty in pity and can hand later racists a caption. Nazi use is a later separate row.

[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

eKGWB Genealogy and Gutenberg’s English independently contain the master/slave and blond-beast pages.

Official or archival record: Nietzsche Source — Digital Critical Edition (eKGWB) (https://doc.nietzschesource.org/en/ekgwb; Nietzsche Source / Paolo D’Iorio).

## Significance

A canonical moral history that animalises ‘masters’ as beasts is a minority-rights risk once it is a school book.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 1887 public Genealogy with those figures. Not established: that he authored Nuremberg law.

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.
