In this video we are going to explore the psychology of the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.
Nietzsche had two main objectives when he started working on his own psychological theory. With his new psychology Nietzsche wanted to dissolve the opposition between values created by metaphysics. His second objective was to dehumanize nature and naturalize human beings.
To interpret Nietzsche’s psychology as meaning that we are all fundamentally motivated by power is a crude and uninformed interpretation. What this means is that the drives themselves struggle for dominance. But the drives themselves are NOT seeking “power”. There is a drive for power but not all drives are the same. There is a drive for truth, or a drive for love. When Nietzsche calls the drives “wills to power” this means that each drive wants to meet its own ends. The charge that Nietzsche’s psychology is cynical because it says that human beings are only motivated by power comes from a lack of understanding. Nietzsche’s psychology wasn't cynical; it is the objection that is cynical not to mention highly uninformed.
