Nietzsche's Will to Power: Morality, Decadence, and Revaluation


Listen Later

In this episode, we explore Nietzsche's Will to Power, focusing on his critique of traditional morality and religion. Nietzsche argues that conventional values arise from decadent instincts and are shaped by the will to power of dominant groups. We dive into his examination of pessimism and nihilism as both reflections of societal decline and potential sources of creativity. The episode contrasts the "pagan" ideal of self-affirmation with ascetic ideals that suppress life's natural instincts.

Join us for an in-depth look at how Nietzsche's radical ideas challenge the very foundation of moral thinking.
