In this article I will explain how different interpretations, that deal with the concept of power, relates to Nietzsche’s philosophy. Currently, the tendency of western society is to identify power more and more with corruption and abuse. We relate power to intelligence, knowledge and control but also to hierarchy and corruption. In the 21st century these become challenging in the common mind in relation to technology, nature and society. Progressively we gained more power but less control and certainty, which stems from our undermining of the definition of truth. Is it fear that plays a big role in the foundation of our actions ?
