About the author
Explore the profound insights of Friedrich Nietzsche, one of the most influential figures in 19th century philosophy, presented in this essential Philosophy classics text, Will to Power, Book I and II. This work represents Nietzsche's Will to Power theory, positing it as the fundamental Power concept philosophy and the prime motor of life. As a collection of Philosophical notes and an Unfinished philosophical work, it offers a direct glimpse into Nietzsche's developing thoughts. This text delves into the concept of European Nihilism, arguing that it is the inevitable outcome of existing values, particularly Christian morality, and discusses the need for a Transvaluation of Values. Nietzsche provides a searing Morality critique, distinguishing between Herd morality and the potential of the Higher man concept, often contrasting the values of Master morality and Slave morality. His Ethical philosophy and Nietzsche's theory of values are explored through a comprehensive Critique of values, including a pointed Christian ethics critique. The book touches upon related themes such as Decadence theory, an Altruism critique, and the Egoism concept Nietzsche viewed as essential for stronger individuals. It critiques specific philosophers like Kant philosophy critique, Schopenhauer philosophy, Herbert Spencer philosophy, Rousseau philosophy, and mentions figures like Pascal philosophy. Concepts like Sacerdotalism critique, Renaissance virtù, the Anæmic ideal of weakness, and a broad European culture critique are also explored, reflecting Nietzsche's wide-ranging analysis. Sourced from Project Gutenberg philosophy, this Posthumous philosophy collection provides crucial context to works like Beyond Good and Evil connection and Genealogy of Morals connection, offering readers a deeper understanding of this pivotal voice in German philosophy and the trajectory of Nihilism in Europe.
