Analytic Geometry and Will to Power

Generally abstracted from is the full title of what has come to be known as Descartes' 'Discourse on Method': 'Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting One's Reason and of Seeking Truth in the Sciences'.  Furthermore, while most subsequent Philosophers have focused on his abstraction from corporeality, his invention of Analytic Geometry focuses on the construction of geometric figures, not merely on the quantification of the perception of them.  In other words, what is widely accepted as his Epistemological Foundationalism is, in fact, abstracted from his foundational Constructivism.  Spinoza briefly recognizes this ground when he proposes a concept of Definition as operational, e. g. a Circle is 'the figure described when one end of a string is fixed and the other is moved', rather than 'a set of points equidistant from a point', i. e. the latter is derived from the former.  Kant, too, briefly examines the perception of the drawing of a Line, but too late to consider the implications for concepts of Time and Space as Forms of mere perception.  So, a derivation of Will to Power that is comparable to Nietzsche other depth analyses--the unearthing of the Dionysian principle, of the subconscious Psyche, and of Master Morality--begins by recovering the Cartesian Techne from which Modern Epistemology has been abstracted.
