Empowerment and Overpowering

In Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Nietzsche introduces the Will to Power as a principle of Empowerment in 'Of the Bestowing Virtue', while later, in 'Of Self-Overcoming', it emerges as a principle of Overpowering.  Subsequently, he vacillates between the two, but with the heavy emphasis on the latter.  At the heart of the dichotomy is a structural problem that he seemingly neither recognizes nor addresses--that both a whole and each of its parts is governed by its own Will to Power, according to the formulation "Everything is the Will to Power" (from #1067 of the Will to Power collection).  Hence, a part of a whole is governed both by the Will to Power of the whole of which it is a part, and by its own Will to Power.  Accordingly, Empowerment is a promotion, by a part, of the Will to Power of the whole, while Overpowering is a promotion, by a part, of its own Will to Power, in conflict with that of other parts.  Now, the fundamental problem of both Morality and Political Philosophy is to systematize the relations between Whole and Parts, a problem which Nietzsche effectively avoids with his reductive opposition of Master Morality and Slave Morality.  In turn, the isolation of the former from a Wholistic Morality facilitates the abstraction of the process of Overpowering from the more comprehensive one of Empowerment, resulting in much of his post-Zarathustra oeuvre.
