Round 7: 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. (10[1])This philosopher called for a “transvaluation (10[1])of values” to combat a system motivated by ressentiment (“ruh-SAWN-tee-MAWN”). A “polemic” by this philosopher argues that the founders of Christianity who condemned the will to power (10[1])initiated the “slave revolt (10[1])in morality.” (10[1])This philosopher argued that “European morality” (10[1])will soon collapse due to declining religious belief. This philosopher’s Genealogy of Morals (10[1])is a sequel to Beyond Good and Evil. For 10 points, name this philosopher who claimed “God is dead, (10[1])and we have (10[1])killed (10[1])him” (10[1])in Thus Spake Zarathustra. ■END■
