New to Penguin Classics, The Will to Power contains some of
Nietzsche's most fascinating and combative writings on nihilism,
metaphysics and the future of Europe.
Assembled by Nietzsche's sister after his death, The Will to Power is
a collection of the philosopher's reflections and theories taken from
his unpublished notebooks. Covering topics such as nihilism,
Christianity, morality, and the famous "will to power," the book was
controversially presented as Nietzsche's all-but-completed magnum opus
containing his philosophical system. Including some of his most
interesting metaphysical and epistemological thoughts, as well as some
of his most disturbing ethical and political comments, the book would
prove to have a significant influence on Nietzsche's contentious
reception in the twentieth century.
