Eine Masse von Intellektuellen ist nicht besser als eine Masse von Proletariern. Eine Masse ist immer nur Gefühlen und einfachen Parolen zugänglich, niemals der Logik.

Perché se ci troviamo in una città sconosciuta camminiamo con lo sguardo incollato allo schermo del telefonino, preoccupati solo di non perdere di vista Google Maps?

On the Genealogy of Morality (The Genealogy of Morals) is an 1887 book by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. It consists of a preface and three interrelated essays that expand and follow through on concepts Nietzsche sketched out in Beyond Good and Evil.

Some Nietzsche scholars consider Genealogy to be a work of sustained brilliance and power as well as his masterpiece.

It also strongly influenced other schools of Chinese philosophy and religion, including Legalism, Confucianism, and Buddhism, which was largely interpreted through the use of Taoist words and concepts when it was originally introduced to China.
