Synopsis

Nietzsche examines modern moral practices through the lens of master and slave morality, setting out a challenging account of how values are formed and sustained. He also traces the evolution of guilt and “bad conscience”, considering how these feelings develop and what they come to mean within moral life. The discussion extends to ascetic ideals, exploring the conditions under which they can help maintain human life.

With its focus on religion and philosophy, this is suited to readers interested in ethics and the history of moral thought.
