In the rich creation and provision of philosophical terms that Friedrich Nietzsche gives us ("moral herd," "Superman ", "eternal return ", etc..), The term" will to power "is one of the most poorly understood, and thus ranked the lowest.
need to understand, first, consider that the world of Nietzsche does not comply with any significance beyond man, of life itself. There is no God (remember his famous dictum that divinely lapidary ...), and no soul, not even a world beyond. All these entities own of Western metaphysics have disappeared, remaining only the man and life, the world as a tangible manifestation. The world is not God's work, nor life, ours is función de -o puede concebirse bajo- un fin trascendente. Lo que cuenta es el aquí y el ahora, esta vida que vivimos, que es, sin más, una expresión de una “voluntad de poder”.
Esta voluntad de poder la contrapone Nietzsche a la “voluntad de vivir” de Arthur Schopenhauer, quien retrata la vida en “ El mundo como voluntad y representación ” como una voluntad meramente ciega que busca la perpetuación y la dominación de los dominios en la naturaleza, una voluntad irracional y perniciosa. Schopenhauer exhorta a abandonar este impulso, retirándose de la corriente que destruye el mundo y limitándose a una mera voluntad de vivir. No obstante, Nietzsche considera to it as the product of a grudge against life itself, is not best expressed pessimism and gloom which brought about Schopenhauer and, inevitably, to a rigid asceticism and limiting, cut off from the human and Privador growth of its own :
"Likewise, hatred against the will attempt to see in the renunciation of desire, in the" To be subjective without purpose or intent "(in the" pure and unwilling subject) a higher value, the superior value par excellence. Severe symptoms of fatigue or weakness of will, because she really is the boss of the wants, and they point the way and assigned as
...."
Nietzsche distinguishes between two types of forces, which are those that dominate and direct the actions: first, an active force that creates and promotes a life up, growing and yearning for self-assertion, and, second, a reactive force identified with a decadent way of living and dead, whose dream is the disappearance of the here and now and the anxiety of the past, fraught with hopes and empty promises. Schopenhauer's position reflects, obviously, this second approach to the world and life, is a manifestation of reactive and resentful attitude to life.
Thus, Nietzsche's will to power is an active force and, by itself, a fact of life, not need any other force than their own, no life force (in the manner of Bergson, for example) or any foreign idea to its realization. However, this does not reduce man to the purely biological, not limited to organic as a complete description of their being, but it treats life as a manifestation of the will to power. The will to power is a force, yes always, always aspiring to further development and refinement, which surpasses all nihilism and any limitation of human vision, one that proclaims as true and certain that only exists and only has the idea and transcendent (which begins thought of Socrates and Plato and goes between the ages because the Judeo-Christian influence) as opposed to the immanent and vital.
"And you know, in short, what is for me 'the world'? I have yet to mostrároslo in my mirror? ... This world is a monster of force, without beginning or end is a fixed amount of force as hard as bronze ... is a force that is everywhere one and many as a set of forces and force waves perpetually restless, forever in contrast, ongoing reflux, with giant-year recur regularly ebbs and flows of its forms, ranging from the simplest to the most complicated of the quietest, the most fixed, most cold, in the hottest, most violent, most contradictory, to return immediately to the multiplicity of the simplicity ... This is my Dionysian world which perpetually created and destroyed himself, the enigmatic world of the twofold luxury, this is my "beyond good and evil" ... You want a name for this universe, a solution for all its riddles? Do you want to sum a light to you, the darkest, strongest, the bravest of all the spirits? This world is the world of will power and nothing else. And you are also the will to power, and nothing more ... "
But nuances in the meaning of "will to power." For though it may seem, this term does not refer to a desire on the part of will power, acquire or increase, dominating more and better things and beings. The will does not want power, but power is what you want at will. That is, the will means how is linked to what she wants, how does what you want-how, also dominates its own power, and how, consequently, do not want the power itself, as an end. Gilles Deleuze said: " should not be fooled by the expression: what you will. What you want a will is not an object, an objective, end. The aims and objects, including the reasons are still symptoms. What you want a will, according to its quality, is to affirm or deny their difference which differs . " So, what is in the will to power is nothing more than a boost to aim its own lift, its self, the highest form of all that exists. There is, therefore, any feature of a political or social in it, or claim of title, but responds to a descriptive force is not subjected to any other outside force, or God is worth more than life itself . Its most direct and profound desire is not to take something or someone, to dominate, subjugate, but, as the driving force is reduced and lies in the act of creation is creation itself. Creating, in effect, new values, creation of a higher life form, so conspicuous that excels on the existing
According
all, life, our life is a particular case, a small part of this strong momentum in the will to power, and expansive force of life up and defeat of nihilism, decadent life. Thus, as Antoni Martinez said Riu, "any driving force is will to power, the whole creative force is the essence of being, and as stated principle, lies beyond good and wrong. " Against the image of a traditional will, whose desire is to attribute values \u200b\u200bset, move into them and not limited to, Nietzsche reiterates that the impulse of the will to power is to create new values. No aspiration or pursuing power, not in any way desired; only, by their overwhelming desire for blind and irrational instincts, to forge the values \u200b\u200bof a new master, the aristocrat of morality, the Superman who, even today, awaiting his appearance in our world today.
