Opis

Every enhancement of humanity has occurred in an Aristocratic society says Nietzsche. Ubermen who are a unified complexity are alone, the source of change and creative advance. The values of Democracy, Egalitarianism are the consequence of 2000 years of slave morality ascendency. From the collapse of the latter, the human type will re-emerge stronger, in its natural state of aristocracy whose essence is Will to Power. Yet the Will to Power can be so interpreted to bring about a reading and society that is the very opposite of Aristocracy.

O autorze

Jenkins, Martin
In his work, Martin Jenkins examines Nietzsche's notorious term 'Will to Power'. Associated with an hierarchical, aristocratic society headed by the Overman or Ubermensch, the author argues that an alternative reading is possible which permits a post-humanist, post-modern Anarchism.
