The Will to Power: Nietzsche's Exploration of the Essence of Existence and Societal Dynamics

Author Name : Dr. Vinitha Mohan

ABSTRACT In the societal and political realm, power assumes a significant role in shaping the human experience. The way individuals think and lead their lives is intricately tied to the prevailing power dynamics within their society. The structure of social life is crafted by the ideologies emanating from science, education, religion, and culture—all of which are contingent upon the exertion of power. Nietzsche, during the final six or more years of his intellectual journey, formulates the notion of the "will to power" as a foundational concept that permeates ontology, psychology, causality, and methodology.
