6. The Antichrist: My old Teacher and Plato

Towards the end of "The Anti-christ", my old teacher praises the moral laws of Manu.

"The order of the castes is of a natural nature.

It seperates the merely spiritual type, the predominantly muscular and temperamental type and the third type distinguished neither in the one nor the other, the mediocre type- the last as the great majority, the first as the elite

the most spiriual human beings, as the strongest, find thier happiness where others fins thier destruction...their joy lies in self-constraint...they rule not because they want to but because they are

inequality of rights is the condition for the existence of rights at all

let us not underestimate the privileges of the mediocre. Life becomes harder and harder as it approaces the hieghts- the coldness increases, the responsibility increases."
