>the will is nothing other than the primordial impulse So did this guy basically turn Nietzsche's Will to Power into a prime mover?
Speaking of the will as a will-to-power, Nietzsche affirms that “the will is nothing other than the primordial impulse” which passes through “innumerable metamorphoses” (Klossowski 1969). This will precedes its agent, shaping its volition, and “threatening its stable identity.”pic.twitter.com/o55weOImbB

If I understand it, K is drawing a distinction between will (voluntary, future-looking) with will-to-power (affirming eternal return of the past). Each chapter follows N’s development of his ideas, so this is only the problematic from which WtP emerges.
-
That is actually a great method, but I feel Nietzsche's development of Will to Power has much to do with science (physics & biology), a development we'll only find in his fragments and which is often seen as problematic, something to be occulted from his "real" corpus.
-
Good point, and worth noting that K is a fantastic reader of N’s notes and fragments. I’m up to a chapter titled “Attempt at a Scientific Explanation of the Eternal Return,” so it will be interesting to see what K and N make of the topic.
