Man of prey#
Summary#
Nietzsche presents the man of prey, exemplified by figures like Caesar Borgia, as fundamentally misunderstood by moralists who seek pathology or innate evil in such natures. These “tropical” human types represent the healthiest and most vital specimens of humanity, yet conventional morality condemns them in favor of temperate, mediocre men. This moralistic condemnation reveals timidity rather than genuine moral insight.
