A provocative inquiry asks where our ideas of good and evil come from. It traces master and slave moralities, priestly resentment, guilt, and the “bad conscience,” arguing that values arise from power, not timeless truth. With philology, psychology, and aphoristic fire, it challenges pity, ascetic ideals, and modern morality to confront their hidden origins.
