The Genealogy of Morals / The Complete Works, Volume Thirteen, edited by Dr. Oscar Levy.

A three-part inquiry traces how moral concepts originate and transform, arguing that aristocratic valuations of strength produced an idea of the good later inverted by resentful, priestly forces into a morality of weakness. It examines the psychological origins of guilt and bad conscience as the internalization of punitive social practices, and it considers the ascetic ideal as a pervasive cultural mechanism that channels suffering into meaning and authority. Across analytical studies and historical reflections, the work links power, resentment, and religious and philosophical practices to the formation and critique of common moral beliefs.
