1.0 out of 5 stars This is not a Nietzsche book!, 4 Sep 1999

By A Customer

Think about this, if you want to read "The Will To Power": This book is simply a compilation of unused Nietzsche writings done by the philosopher's sister Elisabeth Nietzsche and former intimus Peter Gast. They wanted to transform him into a nationalist, militarist and racist to get more publicity for him. So they falsificated many of his aphorisms he did during 1886 to 1888. This book and ONLY this book made it possible for Nazis to abuse him, the anti-nationalist, the philosemetic and anti-biologist.- Be careful with this book. I agree, it is sad that Nietzsche didn't leave a real "master work", so there is only one solution: Read ALL his books, starting with "The Birth Of Tragedy", finishing with "Ecce Homo". So you can get all the changes and the whole development in his philosophy. So all together, all his books summa sumaris are his "master work"!

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for anyone interested in Nietzsche., 10 Aug 2001

By A Customer

While the structure of the book is not Nietzsche's own, that should not detract from what is an essential collection of Nietzsche's otherwise unpublished work. Best read in conjunction with Nietzsche's other work, the Will to Power provides valuable additions to the ideas Nietzche presents elsewhere, i.e. eternal recurrence, will to power. Taken in this context, it is essential in trying to understand all of Nietzsche's thought.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Most Unusual Puzzle, 27 Mar 1997

By A Customer

To understand Nietzsche's philosophy one has to have a very alert mind. One has to keep the pieces of the puzzle in the mind's eye at all times. However, with The Will To Power, one may not ever solve the puzzle. From raw Power to Eternal Recurrence, Nietzsche's aphorisms take one throughout his inner universe. A universe that does not have Ariadne's thread to lead us back to some hoped for beginning. Nevertheless, the sheer potence of his emotional impetus, provides one with the building blocks towards his cherished Superman. It is the reader's job, therefore, to use these blocks, and build the bridge himself--an awesome task--which will liberate him from the bonds of anachronisms that are rampant in our "civilized" and "modern" society.
