Friedrich Nietzsche: Introduction to The Will to Power Course by Historic Mentor
Introduction to The Will to Power presents Friedrich Nietzsche’s most radical insight: that life itself is not governed by reason, morality, or survival, but by the drive to expand, shape, and intensify power. Drawing directly from Nietzsche’s late notebooks, published works, and poetic philosophy, this course confronts nihilism, dismantles inherited values, and challenges learners to see existence as a creative struggle rather than a moral ledger.
