A little about the book
Nietzsche asks how moral terms acquired the meanings people now take for granted. The three essays trace different routes through resentment, guilt and the prestige of self-denial.
The inquiry changes scale repeatedly, moving between the history of words, the power of institutions and the way people interpret their own suffering.
