{"product_id":"on-the-genealogy-of-morals","title":"On the Genealogy of Morals","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe companion book toand Beyond Good and Evil, the three essays included here offer vital insights into Nietzsche's theories of morality and human psychology.Nietzsche claimed that the purpose ofand The Genealogy of Moralsand was to call attention to his previous writings. But in fact the book does much more than that, elucidating and expanding on the cryptic aphorisms ofand Beyond Good and Eviland and signalling a return to the essay form. In these three essays, Nietzsche considers the development of ideas of 'good' and 'evil'; explores notions of guilt and bad consience; and discusses ascetic ideals and the purpose of the philosopher. Together, they form a coherent and complex discussion of morality in a work that is more accessible than some of Nietzsche's previous writings.Friedrich Nietzsche was born near Leipzig in 1844. When he was only twenty-four he was appointed to the chair of classical philology at Basel University. From 1880, however, he divorced himself from everyday life and lived mainly abroad.
