| Publisher Description: Considered one of Friedrich Nietzsche's most important works, "The Genealogy of Morals" is a collection of three essays concerning the author's "thoughts on the origin of our moral prejudices." In the three essays ("Good and Evil, Good and Bad", " "Guilt, Bad Conscience, and the like", and "What is the meaning of ascetic ideals?") Nietzsche reflects upon the genealogical hypothesis of morality put forth in Paul R e's work "The Origin of the Moral Sensations". Finding this theory unsatisfactory, Nietzsche calls for an examination of moral values themselves; writing that "the value of these values themselves must be called into question." |
