master morality
Master morality is a concept introduced by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. It refers to a system of values that prioritizes strength, power, and nobility. In this framework, individuals define their own values based on their experiences and assert their will, often viewing traits like pride and ambition as virtues.
In contrast to slave morality, which emphasizes humility and compassion, master morality celebrates the individual’s ability to create and impose their own standards. This perspective encourages self-affirmation and the pursuit of excellence, positioning the strong as the creators of meaning in their lives and society.
