Living Purpose
|
German philosopher Nietzsche’s influence in existentialism, nihilism and post-modernism was still great. Little ant used to thought philosophy was useless, but found the thought was babyish later, many fundamental problems could only be resolved completely in philosophy.
Nietzsche's concept of the will to power applies to all living things, suggesting that adaptation and the struggle to survive is a secondary drive in the evolution of animals, less important than the desire to expand one's power.
Schopenhauer said all things in the universe were drove by the living desire, Nietzsche said all things in the universe were drove by the desire to expand one’s power. Little ant thought Nietzsche was more reasonable, now little ant had food to eat and no problem of living, but wanted to be successful to express my value, or else I would thought I just lived in vain. Nietzsche also gave an example, the heroes and aristocrats of Greece just fought for power, honor and greatness, usually died with a young age, which also showed that human wasn’t just for survival.View AllAuthor's latest blogs

- Nietzsche said all things in the universe were drove by the desire to expand one’s power.Friedrich was a wannabe lunatic, and he became one in his later years. As for the quote above, I think I couldn't agree with him less.
