Physics, Activation, Reactivity

Relatively unnoticed has been that Hume's analysis of Causality also applies to Force--that it is a conjunction of motions.  In other words, there is nothing extraordinary about Einstein's thesis that Gravity is not a Force.  But, as Kant shows, Hume fails to distinguish between anterior and posterior motion, i. e. between 'cause' and 'effect'.  Now, as is clear from his Laws, Newton's primary attention is on posterior motions, e. g. the First Law concerns the Velocity of Effects.  In contrast, Work is a Cause, i. e. a motion that is necessarily anterior to the motion with which it is conjoined.  Now, as has been previously discussed,  Nietzsche's Will to Power is comparable to Work, thereby revealing that it is distinguished from Will to Live not only by what it aims for, but also because it is a principle of Activation, rather than of Reactivity.  Similarly, Modern Physics, as primarily a system of Effects is inadequate to a system of Physics derived from Will to Power.
