Nietzsche's Will to Power and Eternal Return

Will to Power

Zarathustra is the prophet of the will to power. The world, man, and life are capable of volition. Nietzsche does not clearly define it, but the expression is frequently used. It is the will of the psychologists. In Schopenhauer, or perhaps where Nietzsche says there is no will, it is voluntary for nothing, or the truth is a volunteer for life. On the contrary, life is voluntary power, and this is to be more, live longer; it is voluntary to create. It is a set force of will to power. Nietzsche is interested in moral values because the will to power is the voluntary creator of values.

Eternal Return

This concept comes from the mythology of the Pre-Socratics. In the 'power volunteers,' Nietzsche attempts to reject the linear view of the universe: 'If the universe had a purpose, it would already be met, and if there is a target, it would also have been reached.' He says there is no world beyond this one, and whoever wants to flee to another world is losing touch with reality. The eternal return has a meaning referring to values, if the formula of life and the world pronounce the will to power. The Eternal Return formula hopes everything is eternal and binds two things: 1. The value of evolution (or innocence) 2. The value of life and existence. The Eternal Return is the symbol that this world is unique and it is all good. Nietzsche's philosophy is an affirmative philosophy.

Investment of Securities

The thinking seems to be an Eternal Return in Nietzsche because it always returns to the same subject, which summarizes everything in one: the affirmation of life. He says until now, only the things contrary to life were valued in a negative way, so the values turn, invest, and thus appreciate and affirm life. 'Reassessment of all values' in Nietzsche means to recover innocence and be 'beyond good and evil.'

The Superman

The Superman is the new man, a moral kind. He is the opposite of the last man, the most despicable human. Nietzsche does not explain how the Superman appears; perhaps the Eternal Return brings it. Nietzsche presents the Superman as a result of three transformations: the spirit becomes a camel, the camel a lion, and the lion a child. The Superman has a child's innocence, is beyond good and evil, and is the first human who has the power to create values.

Nihilism

This term is used to disqualify any doctrine denying realities or important values. It aims to break with tradition and build society on a scientific basis. It has a double meaning: 'a sign of growing power of the spirit' (active) and 'recoil power of the mind' (passive). Nihilism is defined as a function of the will to power. When that is exhausted or decreases, it gives rise to passive nihilism. The values of Western culture will come from nowhere. When these values crumble, nihilism arises. Nietzsche opposes passive nihilism with active nihilism. Because asset values do not collapse on their own, they are destroyed by the will to power. Active nihilism is the condition for the will to power to create new values.
