Question Answered step-by-step Every enhancement of the type “man” has so far been the work of an… Every enhancement of the type “man” has so far been the work of an aristocratic society– and it will be so again and again– a society that believes in the long ladder of an order of rank and differences in value between man and man, and that needs slavery in some sense or other. Without that pathos of distancewhich grows out of the ingrained difference between strata [in society], that other, more mysterious pathos could not have grown up either– the craving for an ever new widening of distances within the soul itself, the development of ever higher, rarer, more remote, further-stretching, more comprehensive states– in brief, simply the enhancement of the type “man,” the continual “self-overcoming of man” … [pathos – Greek word meaning “feeling” or “emotion”]To be sure, one should not yield to humanitarian illusions about the origins of an aristocratic society (and thus of the presupposition of this enhancement of the type “man” [and the rise of what Nietzsche calls “master morality”]): truth is hard.

Human beings whose nature was still natural, barbarians in every terrible sense of the word, men of prey who were still in possession of unbroken strength of will and lust for power, hurled themselves upon weaker, more civilized, more peaceful races, perhaps traders or cattle raisers, or upon mellow old cultures whose last vitality was even then flaring up in splendid fireworks of spirit and corruption. In the beginning, the noble caste was always the barbarian caste: their predominance did not lie mainly in physical strength but in strength of the soul– they were more whole human beings (which also means, at every level, “more whole beasts”).
