Master morality
Master morality is the type of ethics of the ruling class and involves friendly strength and hostile strength types. Master morality establishes itself as good and their own actions as good in contrast to all the low, low-minded, common and plebeian. Master morality values qualities such as power, strength, beauty, happiness. Hostile Strength is the embodiment of Nietzsche’s “Blond Beast,” the primitive conqueror-pirate type we find at the dawn of every civilization. This is what Nietzsche also called the “animal” or “unsublimated” form of the Will to Power.
- every noble morality develops from a triumphant affirmation of itself
- it acts and grows spontaneously
- it seeks its opposite only so as to affirm itself more gratefully and triumphantly—its negative concept “low,” “common,” “bad” is only a subsequently-invented pale, contrasting image in relation to its positive basic concept—filled with life and passion through and through
