Nietzsche's "Genealogy of Morals," is a hugely, almost insanely ambitious treatise. It undertakes to explain the origins not only of morals but of society, custom, law, class differences, religion, priesthood, and scholarship. Being concerned with origins, it is also concerned with change and continuity. The book undertakes to reveal the continuity, for instance, between the early priest with his terrifying ascetic practices and the modern scholar whose asceticism takes the form of a devotion to truth. Nietzsche therefore needs models for change combined with continuity, and he finds two such models in the sciences of his own day. One is philology, which traces the transformation of words; the other is evolutionary biology, which examines the transformation of organisms. His constant reference to these sciences gives Nietzsche's late prose a rich metaphorical texture. The book "Genealogy of Morals," ends by questioning the search for truth, describing it as the last remnant of Christian asceticism. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2005 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
