ABSTRACT

Nietzsche often refers to as a “will to power.” Such individuals marshal the power, as a result of making proper use of their abilities and energy, to embed new substantive values into the day-to-day reality of society. These values are the basis for instituting new ways of understanding and seeing that enhance life and that create the conditions, as Sleinis says, for “the thriving and flourishing of life.” In augmenting life-enhancing values, a person with a will to power would embark upon actions that lead to the many products of human flourishing, such as those found in art or in new forms of social organization.1
