I havn't read the essay. But i distinctly remember Nietzsche stressing
the point that moralists and psychologists lack the "historical" sense.
This is indeed useful, for in knowing how a thing evolved and developed,
the better to understand it, and the possibility of putting it to
greater use, or dis-use.

I might offer a meditation practice i am developing. That is
contemplating on the history of objects, especially thoose of value,
whether they are psychological or material. The point is in
understanding my value of that thing, and therby modifiying it,
consequently heightening ones morality. Mind you, it is still in it's
theoretical stage, but i believe historically familiarizing theese
objects of value, as they have appeard throughout my life, will aid in a
greater value, or disvalueing of them. In short, and what is hoped: a
re-evaluation of all values.
