Introduction
In the Introduction I offer a selective summary of the argument of Nietzsche’s Genealogy of Morality, placing particular emphasis on my interpretation of the genealogical method that it defines and employs, and on two of that method’s constituent features: its indebtedness to the value system it is used to criticize, and its inherent susceptibility to genealogical development. This allows me to introduce and justify the nature of my own attempt to elaborate upon Nietzsche’s concluding treatment of the ascetic ideal to include cultural developments after his death.
