Preferred term

will to power  

Definition

  • The will to power is a phrase made popular by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844—1900). Though rarely used in his principal works, it appears frequently in the selection of posthumous notes and fragments later published, in corrupted form, by his sister, Elizabeth Förster-Nietzsche, in a volume called The Will to Power.
