Nietzsche intended to dedicate his book "The Will to Power" to those who find pleasure in thinking. Concerns about a potentially misguided reception and his subsequent breakdown prevented the project from coming to fruition. This anthology, unlike previous publications, for the first time compiles all relevant texts by Nietzsche that deal with the "will to power" as a philosophical theorem. Interested laypeople, as well as a specialized audience, will find in this collection a targeted and comprehensive selection of his texts on one of the most significant philosophical considerations of the early modern period. An accompanying commentary places the excerpts in their respective thematic context.
