Moral superiority

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Moral superiority is the belief or attitude that one's position and actions are justified by having higher moral values than one's political, religious or moral opponent; see "just war" concept.

The idea that moral superiority is possible is opposed by those who espouse moral equivalence, either in a specific conflict or in general.
