A basic element in Nietzsche's philosophical outlook is the will to power (der Wille zur Macht), which provides a basis for understanding human behavior — more so than competing explanations, such as the ones based on pressure for adaptation or survival. As such, according to Nietzsche, the drive for conservation appears as the major motivator of human or animal behavior only in exceptions, as the general condition of life is not one of emergency, of 'struggle for existence'. More often than not, self-conservation is but a consequence of a creature's will to exert its strength on the outside world. In presenting his theory of human behavior, Nietzsche also addressed, and attacked, concepts from philosophies popularly embraced in his days, such as Schopenhauer's notion of an aimless will or that of utilitarianism. Utilitarianists claim that what moves people is mainly the desire to be happy, to accumulate pleasure in their lives. But such a conception of happiness Nietzsche rejected as something limited to, and characteristic of, the bourgeois lifestyle of the English society, and instead put forth the idea that happiness is not an aim per se — it is instead a consequence of a successful pursuit of one's aims, of the overcoming of hurdles to one's actions — in other words, of the fulfillment of the will. Related to his theory of the will to power, is his speculation, which he did not deem final, regarding the reality of the physical world, including inorganic matter — that what holds true for man's affections and impulses, may also apply to the external world. At the core of his theory is a rejection of atomism — the idea that matter is composed of stable, indivisible units (atoms). Instead, he seems to have accepted the conclusions of Rudjer Boskovic, who explained the qualities of matter as a result of an interplay of forces. One study of Nietzsche defines his fully developed concept of the will to power as "the element from which derive both the quantitative difference of related forces and the quality that devolves into each force in this relation" revealing the will to power as "the principle of the synthesis of forces." Of such forces Nietzsche said they could perhaps be viewed as a primitive form of the will. Likewise he rejected as a mere interpretation the view that the movement of bodies is ruled by inexorable laws of nature, positing instead that movement was governed by the power relations between bodies and forces

12 of 14 people found the following review helpful. The best translation By The Southerner Rundown of the two main translators.Walter Kaufmann: A pernicious Jewish scholar that built his career on preparing Nietzsche for liberal digestion, that is, sanitizing, de-contextualizing, disassociation of Nietzsche from the most obvious ramification of the man's teaching (National Socialism), incorrectly presenting Nietzsche as a wisdom writer and then tellingly doing absolutely nothing about the fraudulent platitudinization of Nietzsche by liberal 'critical-theorists' like Derrida, Klossowski, Butler, Foucault, Deleuze and similar garbage. Kaufmann's translations are useful, just so long as the reader pays absolutely no attention to his notes.R.J. Hollingdale. Hollingdale is not as militant as Kaufmann and is more privy to the danger of Nietzsche. He nonetheless treats N in the impartial manner of merely presenting text and at best siding with the likes of Harold Bloom and 'Great Courses' professors that think of Nietzsche loosely as an 'individualist' and wisdom-writer of that most stupid truism, 'self-creation'. Hollingdale is preferable to Kaufmann because his English is better.Ludovici is better because his English comes from a period in which there was still a natural artistic life in the language and because his mind is better suited for comprehending Nietzsche. He has a better grasp of Nietzsche's comments about 'aristocracy' because the man was, unlike Hollingdale and the post-war Jew Kaufmann, not naturally opposed to all of previous history. With Kaufmann and Hollingdale, 'aristocracy' becomes a kind of platitude that can be relativized by any Other on the basis of their present political situation. By this thinking liberals become 'aristocrats' because the tea-party resents Obama's dissolution of American sovereignty, so they're just resenters and 'resentment' also becomes a peculiarly free-floating truism that can be adopted by anyone to slander anyone else, always in the name of 'objectivity' (impartiality), which is a fraud because by doing so their morality is not understood as particular to their nature but something coming from beyond--from God! They deliberately drop the Nietzsche distinction between Power and Weakness. In contrast Ludovici correctly understands the historical continuity between Christianity, Liberalism and Obama.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A tour de force but very difficult to read. By Lupiyardo Poomiha There is a lot to like here. Nietzsche's philosophy is almost unlike anything you'll read anywhere else. He's a deep, deep thinker who sees many things very clearly. He unveils the masks of our knowledge and our reason and our logic. He shreds science, religion, and philosophy. God is dead and he explains why that is so.Some of the gems in this tome are that consciousness is a blip (and not a particularly great one) in human history as we rush towards automation...this from somebody in the late 1800's...not bad. That religion was necessary for its time but is really outdated today and pretty ridiculous. That philosophers are all basically idiots because their ideas are based on presupposed assumptions that probably aren't true. It goes on...like I said, lot's of good (mindblowing sometimes) stuff.This particular book, and the reason I gave it only 4 stars, is not laid out very nicely and is THICK. The work is thick and requires re-reading no doubt. The book itself is small and so there are a lot of pages to go through. I suggest doing a cursory reading of the book (as you should anyway) and then watching a few films about the topic on YouTube. If after this you're still not satisfied you can go back and carefully read some of his chapters. It's going to take some time to get through this one though.But, ultimately, it's worth it to understand this great man's philosophy.
