Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche 1844-1900

Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls! The Will to Power Hour proudly presents its first official episode! The topic of this episode is none other than Friedrich Nietzsche’s Will to Power. And our chosen beer is none other than Brewery Ommegang’s Three Philosophers Belgian Ale. So sit back, relax, and take a tour through the mind of one of the greatest philosophers of the modern era.

Abstract:

The will to power is perhaps the central idea in all of Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophy. But what exactly is the will to power? How should we interpret it? For all its import, Nietzsche never systematically defined it. Our task for the first official episode of The Will to Power Hour is to clarify this elusive concept.
