According to Nietzsche, christian morality is an example of :

  • A.Will to power
  • B.Slave morality
  • C.Master morality
  • D.Rational morality

Answer: B

Christian morality is an example of slave morality.

In On the Genealogy of Morality and Beyond Good and Evil, Nietzsche contrasts master morality, which affirms strength, pride and nobility as 'good', with slave morality, born of the resentment (ressentiment) of the weak, which calls the strong 'evil' and praises humility, meekness and pity. He saw Christian morality as the triumph of slave morality.

Master morality is its opposite. Will to power is the basic drive Nietzsche finds behind all life, including both moralities, not a type of morality. 'Rational morality' describes Kant's ethics, which Nietzsche also criticised.
