Summary:

Here is the first translation into English of a milestone in Nietzsche interpretation. Wolfgang Muller-Lauter examines Nietzsche's doctrines of the will to power and the overman in light of Nietzsche's philosophy of mutual contradictions. He shows that Nietzsche's vision of inherently contradictory "wills to power" is the source of irresolvable contradictions in his philosophy.
