AND NON-GOOD WHERE
DID IT ALL COME FROM?
HOW THE IDEAS EVOLVED
HOW THE RICH AND POWERFUL INTERFERED
THE BIG TRANSITION
SA21 // On the Genealogy of Morals, First Essay Castillo / Saw / Paris / Tan / Medina, K
GOOD WAS ONCE
THE
UNEGOISTIC
ACT
SA21 // On the Genealogy of Morals, First Essay Castillo / Saw / Paris / Tan / Medina, K

THEN ANYTHING THAT WAS
USEFUL
UTILITARIANISM
SA21 // On the Genealogy of Morals, First Essay Castillo / Saw / Paris / Tan / Medina, K
BUT BECAME THE
DICTATION
OF THE
POWERFUL

SERIOUS
BACKUP.)
SA21 // On the Genealogy of Morals, First Essay Castillo / Saw / Paris / Tan / Medina, K
FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF
THOSE TO WHOM THE ACTS

IT SHOULD MEAN

SOMETHING
SA21 // On the Genealogy of Morals, First Essay Castillo / Saw / Paris / Tan / Medina, K
AS A VITAL SOCIAL COMPONENT,
LANGUAGE ADAPTS TO ITS USERS.
SA21 // On the Genealogy of Morals, First Essay Castillo / Saw / Paris / Tan / Medina, K
IN RESPONSE TO SOCIAL CHANGES,
ESSENTIAL LANGUAGE TRANSFORMATIONS OCCUR.
SA21 // On the Genealogy of Morals, First Essay Castillo / Saw / Paris / Tan / Medina, K
RICH ASSERT POWER VIA
THE PATHOS OF DISTANCE
FROM THE POOR.
SA21 // On the Genealogy of Morals, First Essay Castillo / Saw / Paris / Tan / Medina, K
AND THEY ALSO HOLD
THE POWER OF
LANGUAGE.
Y’KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
SA21 // On the Genealogy of Morals, First Essay Castillo / Saw / Paris / Tan / Medina, K
THIS MEANS THAT
LANGUAGE TRANSFORMS
IN THEIR FAVOR.
THERE’S GERMAN, LATIN, GAELIC, GREEK, AND SO MUCH MORE!
schlechterdings!
bonus & duonus
malus & melas
SA21 // On the Genealogy of Morals, First Essay Castillo / Saw / Paris / Tan / Medina, K
WORDS REFERRING TO
GOOD
BECOME ASSOCIATED
WITH THEM.
REMEMBER THEIR SHAMELESS PLUG:

THEY’RE GOOD BECAUSE THEY SAID SO
SA21 // On the Genealogy of Morals, First Essay Castillo / Saw / Paris / Tan / Medina, K
THAT WASN’T TOO NICE,
WAS IT?
AND FOR THE POOR BACK THEN,
BECAUSE EVERYTHING REFERRING TO “BAD” ENDED UP
BECOMING ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR CLASS
oh no you didn’t!
SA21 // On the Genealogy of Morals, First Essay Castillo / Saw / Paris / Tan / Medina, K
A CLASS WAR BETWEEN
THE RICH AND THE POOR.
SO THE GOOD-CONTRARY POLARITY BECAME
A.K.A. THE MASTERS AND THE SLAVES.
SA21 // On the Genealogy of Morals, First Essay Castillo / Saw / Paris / Tan / Medina, K
I’M RICH, I’M HAPPY,
I’M ALL GOOD.
TSS. GOODNESS
IS EVERYTHING
BUT YOU.
