Reading Nietzsche's "Beyond Good and Evil" - Ep. 12

from The Wes Cecil Podcast

We arrive at perhaps the central theme Nietzsche has been building towards - the Will to Power. That life is not trying to survive but rather to thrive is the key argument he makes. He sees this as an extra-moral condition of existence because it is present in all living things - hence Beyond Good and Evil. That life force is motivating and shaping in every moment fundamentally alters the notion of a disinterested observer working within the framework of perfect reason to derive the Truth about the world.Sign-up for Wes’s PATREON community to get your questions answered by Wes!
