The theory of will to power as a character of existence

Abstract

Nietzsche writes not only once that the world, along with everything that is in it, is simply will to power. Through this theory he reasons about the several levels of existence, ranging from tiny and simple elements to complex structures, with high degree of refinement. According to this philosopher, everything is just the unroll of forces in an agonistic play for a plus power. On this paper we analyze some aspects of will to power theory to show how Nietzsche uses the same conceptual arrangement to qualify all the existence. Thus, both the microscopic and the macroscopic, both the organic and the inorganic, are taken as examples of beings who, notwithstanding their differences, are all will to power.
