Zur Genealogie der Moral: Eine Streitschrift des Autors von Also sprach Zarathustra, Der Antichrist und Jenseits von Gut und Böse

Friedrich Nietzsche's work explores the historical development and psychological foundations of moral values rather than prescribing how people should act. Divided into a preface and three essays, it presents sociological, historical, and psychological theses with a scientific rigor uncommon in his other writings. Nietzsche challenges traditional moral philosophy by questioning why individuals believe they should behave in certain ways and influence others accordingly. His influential ideas extend beyond philosophy, impacting various fields and interpretations even today.
