NIETZSCHE: Will to Power and Overcoming Nihilism (part 3)

WATCH:
Part 1: • NIETZSCHE: Will to Pow...
Part 2: • NIETZSCHE: Will to Pow...
In this third and final part of our series on Friedrich Nietzsche's concept of the Will to Power, we look at a modern interpretation (Bernard Reginster's The Affirmation of Life: Nietzsche on Overcoming Nihilism from 2006) to finally settle the question of whether or not the Will to power is a metaphysical concept or not -- turns out we have to take a middle road and figure out what exactly Nietzsche means by "power"...

Third and final part of our series on the Will to Power. We hope this has been useful. Do you want to see a video on Nietzsche's Will to Power book? The work that was never finished by him. Please let us know. Thanks for watching!

11:42: "Ultimately Nietzsche's project remains unfinished, but maybe that's just fitting. The Will to Power is never done. The Will to Power is the necessity and embrace of struggle itself, the condition for growth. By leaving some questions unanswered, Nietzsche gave us our own opportunities to practice Will to Power by picking up where he left off." It's a crime against all that is just, how underrated this channel really is!

Love this series alongside the Genealogy & Beyond Good and Evil series ! I’m currently writing my thesis on Nietzsche’s answer to nihilism and my own critique of his answer. Once I’ve finished it (probably next week) , I’d love to email it to you as you’ve been a huge help ! Cheers man

In my opinion , Nietzsche's will to power is a total crap, unlike most of his writings and ideas, people dont focus on his other mind blowing aphorisms and writings, they just follow the tribe whom only talk about a few and superfecial ideas of him, like will to power, or eternal recurrence, ...etc Read his works people!

[@WeltgeistYT]

There is much more to Nietzsche yes, but still I think the Will to power is a very interesting and thought-provoking concept.
