Power, Causality, Adaptation

The popular image of Nietzsche's concept of Will to Power as a promotion of political deceit and brutality falsifies it.  It is a descriptive theory of all human behavior, not a prescription for some, the immediate target of which is Schopenhauer's more traditional descriptive principle Will to Live, the immediate application of which is to Schopenhauer's promotion of a denial of the Will to Live--by exposing the Will to Power that is at the root of that doctrine of apparent Willlessness.  So, the full implications of Nietzsche's novel thesis have generally remained unexplored, including how it bears on one of the central topics of Modern Philosophy--Causality.  From the perspective of Newtonian Physics, which strongly influences the Philosophical concepts of Physics, notably those of Hume and Kant, Power is derived from Causality, i. e. from Force, Distance, and Time. But, from the perspective of the Will to Power, Causality is an abstraction from Power, as is Theory from Practice.  On that basis, any mystery regarding how 'A causes B' is transformed into 'A is a means to B' is easily resolved--the determination of the former is, from the outset, motivated not by idle curiosity, but by a drive to increase Power.  Likewise, the Adaptation-Of its Environment, far exceeding any Adaptation-To it, that distinguishes the Human species, especially in the past several centuries, is strong evidence of the correctness of Nietzsche's thesis.
