The will to power describes what Nietzche believed was the main driving force of human life. #nietzsche did not believe it was a struggle for survival, as many philosophers hypothesized in the past. He believed it was the struggle for power — achievement, ambition, and the striving to reach the highest possible position in life. It can be argued that human beings do not wage war or create art or write books merely so they can survive, but the greater reason, is so they can gain and enforce their own power. And this is not only just a struggle in human life, but it is the enduring struggle of nature itself. The controversy in the will to power comes from, where does this leave us when it comes to morality? I adore the work of Nietzsche mainly because of his views on morality, we have an irrational fear of a slippery slope that will get us to utter chaos if we ever thought about rethinking the morality we currently have. I would much rather live in a society where the agreed morality comes from convenience rather than easily manipulated belief. #DatAssThough #thewilltopower #books #nietzsche #wamman #latenightreading #reading #philosophy (at W Amman)
