The will to power

Book • 1913
The Will to Power is a compilation of Friedrich Nietzsche's notes and fragments, edited and published posthumously by his sister Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche and others.

The book is based on Nietzsche's intention to write a comprehensive work titled 'The Will to Power, An Attempt at a Revaluation of All Values.

' It explores his central philosophical concept of the 'will to power,' which he believed was the fundamental driving force in all living beings.

The work delves into various aspects of human life, including morality, art, science, and metaphysics, and critiques traditional values and morality.

Despite not being a completed work by Nietzsche himself, it remains a key component of his philosophical legacy.
