Will to Power#
Summary#
The Will to Power is presented as the fundamental drive underlying all life, superseding even self-preservation, which is merely one of its indirect results. Nietzsche proposes it as the single explanatory principle for all organic functions and active forces: the world viewed from within would simply be Will to Power and nothing else. This drive manifests in everything from philosophical systems that seek to create the world in their own image to the essential nature of living organisms, which must grow, appropriate, and gain ascendancy not from morality but because life itself is precisely Will to Power.
