Slavish Revolt of Morality


Prior to the Slavish Revolt in Morality, the Noble Mode of Valuation claimed that God only loved things because they were good, powerful, beautiful, or other similar adjectives. The Slavish revolt also makes the distinction between good and evil. The Slavish Revolt in Morality made the claim that God loved people because they were good, strong, and noble. In my opinion, I agree with the Slavish Revolt in Morality. I believe that God would not single out some of his creations in order to choose which he favored over all his other creations. It would not make much sense to have a favorite group, since he created them all. If it were true that God only loved something because he made them good, then what would the point be for the rest of humanity? Also, if it were true, then it would cause something similar to the ressentement’. Why would a God want to cause his creation to feel depression and self hatred? If it is a merciful God, then he would not.

I also believe the Slavish Revolt is a good idea because it makes the distinction between good and evil. The distinction that the revolt makes towards between good and evil allows the people of the ressentement’ to no longer feel “spiritually sick” as Nietzche claimed. When the Noble Mode of Valuation was in effect, it distinguished people as good if God loved them, and bad if he did not. After the distinction was made, I imagine it made most people feel better to know that the God they cherish did not look down on them for being less powerful or less strong then other people are. People like to feel that God is more just a judgement giver or a controller but someone or s power there to guide use and make us try to become a better person or live a better life.
