Did Nietzsche take his arguments for will to power from Glaucon, his brother and Trasimaco from Plato's Republic? I was reading books I and II and their arguments are literally an ancient concept of will to power.>justice is defined by the stronger one>those who feel need for justice and treat injustice as a bad thing are those who can't simply defend themselves and thus are weaker
>>24894571No, but there are closer parallels with Plato's treatment of Eros in the Symposium, and a kind of treatment in the Sophist of Being as power or potential. One thing you should be cautious of is simply equating "power" in "will to power" with strength. For Nietzsche, will to power is also an account of nature, and even slave morality is an expression of will to power.
>>24894571No. Nietzsche took the metaphysics of Will from Spinoza
