On the Genealogy of Morality, the classic three essay treatise of
Friedrich Nietzsche, is considered by scholars to be one of the
author's philosophic masterworks. This astounding work represents
the maturity of Nietzsche's ideas, and consists of three distinct
essays. In each, Nietzsche isolates and expands upon ideas he
expressed in Beyond Good and Evil. Nietzsche juxtaposes ideas of
weakness and strength, and notions of human preconception as
generated over millenia of hierarchy inclusive of slavery, to
demonstrate an evolution of ideas beyond traditional duality. This
text controversially introduces the 'blond beast' - a a forebear
for Nietzsche's posthumous association with Nazism and racial
superiority. Nietzsche demonstrates how people with allegiance to
ascetic ideals gained traction in society. He proceeds to discount
science as an opposing influence, together with historians and idle
thinkers, advocating for criticism of what is accepted as truth,
and a replacement for flawed definitions.

My thoughts concerning the genealogy of our moral prejudices-for
they constitute the issue in this polemic- have their first, bald,
and provisional expression in that collection of aphorisms entitled
Human, all-too-Human, a Book for Free Minds, the writing of which
was begun in Sorrento, during a winter which allowed me to gaze
over the broad and dangerous territory through which my mind had up
to that time wandered.
