On the Genealogy of Morals

Published in 1887, a year after Beyond Good and Evil, Nietzsche intended On the Genealogy of Morals to be a continuation of the investigation into the theme of morality. Nietzsche furthers his pursuit of a clarity that is less tainted by imposed prejudices. He looks at the way attitudes towards 'morality' evolved and the way congenital ideas of morality were heavily colored by the Judaic and Christian traditions.
