Reading Nietzsche's "Beyond Good and Evil" - Ep. 14 (Will To Power)

from The Wes Cecil Podcast

I pause for a moment to review the central concept for Nietzsche - the Will to Power - how it differs from the concept of will deployed by Schopenhauer and how it utterly reframes the debate around free-will and determinism (though most people don’t seem to notice). Hopefully, this provides a little more clarity and also suggests why it is both a crucial insight and pretty confusing all the same time.Sign-up for Wes’s PATREON community to get your questions answered by Wes!
