About this book

Three linked essays make up this late work, and together they ask an unsettling question: where did our ideas of good and evil actually come from? Nietzsche treats morality not as fixed truth but as something with a history, arguing that the values Western culture calls noble were forged in resentment by the weak against the strong. He traces the words for good and bad, examines guilt and conscience as debts owed and then turned inward, and closes with a hard look at ascetic ideals and the human will to self-denial. Deliberately provocative and often uncomfortable, it stands among the most influential attacks ever written on the origins of Judeo-Christian ethics.
