Genealogy of the Moralist

Nietzsche's use of the term 'genealogy' to characterize the development of Morality is anticipated by his assertion, in #45 of Human, All Too Human, that in the earliest Master 'castes', it is considered that "goodness is inherited".  Now, it is possible that he regards himself as the heir to the philosopher-king line, i. e. with Schopenhauer as his 'father', and, similarly, that his future values-creators are his descendant 'progenitors'.  But such imagery only borrows from concrete inter-generational transmission, and, perhaps, overextends it.  For, instead, by his own analysis, in Beyond Good and Evil #212, for example, the emergence of a new philosopher is as a product of the "bad conscience" of the time.  So, the 'genealogy of the Moralist' is not only not to be confused with the 'genealogy of Morals, but 'genealogy' is an inappropriate characterization of the former process.
