Temporality and Will to Power

In Schopenhauer's system, Temporality is a characteristic of Epiphenomena.  Hence, the initial motivational spark of his Noumenal Will to Live must be atemporal.  Accordingly, he lacks the capacity to recognize that his Will to Live might might more accurately be a Will to Extend Living, as Spinoza conceives it, and, hence, entailing a Temporal dimension.  So, Nietzsche's replacement of Will to Live with Will to Power, especially when characterizing the latter as 'seeking to discharge strength', seems to inherit Schopenhauer's concept of the initial spark as atemporal in some respect.  If so, then he, too, lacks the capacity to recognize that Will to Power might be, more accurately, Will to Extend Power, or equivalently, to increase efficacy, as has been previously discussed.  Nevertheless, Will to Extend Power provides a clearer basis for many of his analyses, including that of Self-Overcoming, and its extrapolation to the overcoming of Human by Overman.  As such, it entails a concept of Temporality as cumulative, i. e. even recurring identical cycles are, at minimum, quantitatively cumulative.
