Rather than approaching the will to power as a mere historical curiosity or philosophical slogan, we will investigate the internal evolution and complex nuances of the doctrine, paying special attention to how Nietzsche’s own understanding changed over time and how subsequent generations of scholars have interpreted, critiqued, and reinvented his ideas. This approach will allow us to unravel the richness and contradictions embedded in Nietzsche’s thinking, considering the will to power both as an individual psychological force and as a broad metaphysical principle. We learn how the doctrine can still be of use today, not just for interpreting Nietzsche, but for drawing out overlooked critical insights and posing important questions in ongoing philosophical debates. Whether the issue is agency, free will, ethical responsibility, or the future of intelligence, both human and artificial, we will ask what the will to power offers that contemporary frameworks might miss. By reconstructing its trajectory and situating it alongside current debates in philosophy of mind, ethics, and the theory of intelligent agency, the Seminar encourages participants to revisit and reimagine the stakes of Nietzsche’s thought for our own time. Session 4, The Will to Power in the Unpublished Notebooks: By comparing Bostrom’s basic drives with Nietzsche’s speculations in his unpublished 1880s notebooks, we explore the possibility that the will to power is a fundamental, universal drive underlying all action. This Session draws out the difference between Bostrom’s “instrumental convergence” and a Nietzschean model in which power—expressed as intelligence, creativity, and resourcefulness—may be an ultimate end. We also discuss Nietzsche’s challenge to the idea of self-preservation as the most basic drive. Readings: Friedrich Nietzsche, The Will to Power: Selections from the Notebooks of the 1880s, ed. R.
