Full Idea
A virtuous human is a lower species because he is not a 'person', but rather he takes his value from conforming to a schema of the human that is set out once and for all.
Gist of Idea
The virtuous are not persons, because they conform to a fixed scheme for life

A Reaction
This is a standard objection to virtue theory - that it is too conservative, because the virtues are socially determined. I can't see why 'higher' beings can't develop their own virtues. The historical figures Nietzsche admires have distinctive virtues.
