A special one-day intensive seminar on an incredibly important and influential text in late modern philosophy, Friedrich Nietzsche's book On The Genealogy Of Morals. Each of our three 90-minute class sessions will be devoted to exploring the key ideas, distinctions, and arguments of one of the three essays of this work. We will be looking at his examinations of different types of valuations, the transvaluation of values, the will-to-power, the origins and purposes of punishment, the development of bad conscience, the meaning of "ascetic ideals", and the implications of Nietzsche's work
