The connoisseur of morals


For Nietzsche, the German morality of commands and obedience ranks below the Greek morality of virtue and distinction.

The Dawn, aphorism 207, The German attitude to morality

The morality of willing self-immolation ranks below the morality of self-control, severity, and obedience.

Living for others ranks below living for self.

The Dawn, aphorism 215, Morality of sacrificial beasts; aphorism 151, Fashions in morality

The morality of the pagans/masters ranks above the morality of the Christians/slaves.

But even among slaves there are exceptions.

The Dawn, aphorism 546, Slave and idealist
