Abstract

The Genealogy of Morals is explicitly a polemical work, seeking to illustrate the origin of the cornerstones of modern morality. But according to the conclusions reached with Nietzsche’s doctrine of the will to power, we can understand it as a sign of the Lebens-form that its author represents at that moment. The task of clarifying where the founda- tion of our value positions lies is in fact entrusted to the physiologist: genealogy, with its examples of «distorted morphologies», not only plays down moral systems revealing their historical origin, but shows the psychological and physiological system that is the origin and basis of morality itself.
