Therevaluation of all values ortransvaluation of all values (German:Umwertung aller Werte) is aconcept from thephilosophy ofFriedrich Nietzsche.
The revaluation of all values is the process by which actions and beliefs previously thought to be good and righteous come to be seen as evil and wrong, and vice-versa. Nietzsche believedpost-exileJudaism andChristianity were part of a revaluation of values wherebymaster morality (which identified virtue with the expression of strength, power, action, health and sexuality)was supplanted at all levels of society byslave morality (which instead identified power as evil and weakness as good). In his later works, Nietzsche expresses his interest in spearheading a new revaluation of all values against Judeo-Christian morality and egalitarianism.[1]
The Revaluation of All Values was also the title of a four-book series Nietzsche was planning to write, meant to be structured as follows:[2]
He only managed to complete the first book of the series before fully losing his sanity in late 1888. The unfinished drafts of the remaining three books, alongside other unrelated notes by him, were published by his sisterElisabeth Förster-Nietzsche under the titleThe Will to Power.
