Master-morality#
Summary#
Master-morality originates among the ruling class who determine “good” based on exalted, proud dispositions, with the antithesis being “good” and “bad” (noble and despicable) rather than “good” and “evil.” The noble type regards himself as a creator of values, acting from an overflow of power and self-glorification rather than sympathy or selflessness. This morality honors strength, self-mastery, reverence for tradition, and recognizes duties only to one’s equals, making it foreign to modern sensibilities.
