Nietzsche: Aristocratic Radicalism or Anarchy?

Every enhancement of humanity has occurred in an Aristocratic society says Nietzsche. Ubermen who are a unified complexity are alone, the source of change and creative advance. The values of Democracy, Egalitarianism are the consequence of 2000 years of slave morality ascendency. From the collapse of the latter, the human type will re-emerge stronger, in its natural state of aristocracy whose essence is Will to Power. Yet the Will to Power can be so interpreted to bring about a reading and society that is the very opposite of Aristocracy.

About the author

In seinem Werk untersucht Martin Jenkins Nietzsches berüchtigten Begriff "Wille zur Macht". Er wird mit einer hierarchischen, aristokratischen Gesellschaft assoziiert, an deren Spitze der Übermensch steht. Der Autor argumentiert, dass eine alternative Lesart möglich ist, die einen post-humanistischen, post-modernen Anarchismus ermöglicht.
