Genealogy of Morals

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