Brahmins#
Summary#
Nietzsche presents the Brahmins as a priestly caste who mastered the strategic use of religion for political purposes. Through religious organization, they secured the power to nominate kings while keeping themselves apart from direct governance, positioning themselves as men with a “higher and super-regal mission.” They serve as an example of noble natures who use religion to obtain peace from the troubles of managing worldly affairs while maintaining superior authority.
