Democracy And The Will To Power (1921)

By James N. Wood

Book Overview

Democracy And The Will To Power is a philosophical book written by James Nelson Wood in 1921. The book explores the relationship between democracy and the concept of will to power, which is a central idea in the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. Wood argues that democracy, in its purest form, is based on the will to power, as it allows individuals to exercise their power and influence over the political process. He also examines the dangers of democracy, particularly the potential for the majority to oppress the minority, and the need for a balance between individual freedom and collective responsibility. The book is a thought-provoking analysis of the nature of democracy and the role of power in society, and it remains relevant today as a commentary on contemporary politics and social issues.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
