Round 9: Tossup 18

This philosopher proposed that the Latin word bonus derived from a word for war to argue that ancient societies equated goodness with power. This philosopher called for a “transvaluation of values” to combat a system motivated by ressentiment (10[1])(“ruh-SAWN-tee-MAWN”). A (10[1])“polemic” by this philosopher argues that the founders of Christianity (10[1])who condemned the will to power (10[1])initiated the “slave revolt in (10[1])morality.” (10[1])This philosopher argued that “European morality” will soon collapse due to declining religious belief. (10[1])This philosopher’s Genealogy of Morals is a sequel to Beyond Good and Evil. For 10 points, name this philosopher who claimed “God is dead, and we have killed him” in Thus Spake Zarathustra. ■END■
