| In The Genealogy of Morals, Friedrich Nietzsche claims that Christian morality is grounded in ressentiment, which includes the claim that Christian morality harbors an inversion of values. In Ressentiment, Max Scheler responds to Nietzsche by claiming that Christianity does not harbor an inversion of values. A transvaluation of values did occur, but it was due to a reversal in the order of loving, not ressentiment. This thesis will explore both Nietzsche's claim in The Genealogy of Morals that Christian morality harbors an inversion of values and Scheler's response in Ressentiment. |
