"Slave morality" is a term coined by philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche to describe a moral framework that arises from the perspective of the oppressed or marginalized. It values traits such as humility, compassion, and meekness, often in reaction to the dominant "master morality," which celebrates strength, power, and nobility. This moral system emphasizes the importance of community and support among those who feel powerless. In slave morality, virtues are defined in opposition to the qualities of the powerful. It often promotes the idea that suffering and sacrifice are noble, leading to a sense of moral superiority among the oppressed. This perspective can foster resilience and solidarity but may also perpetuate a cycle of victimhood and resentment toward those in positions of power.
