The Genealogy of Morals
Nietzsche's polemical work traces the origin of moral concepts like good and evil, guilt and bad conscience. Through historical and psychological analysis, he exposes master and slave morality, the role of ressentiment, and the ascetic ideal. The work challenges the foundations of Western morality and calls for a revaluation of all values.
