This book was written by John Richardson and published in 2004. It illustrates the various ways in which Nietzsche was influenced by Darwin. Additionally, it focuses on describing Nietzsche’s concept of the will to power as a biological principle, rather than an ontological principle, notwithstanding his focus on this ontological version of the principle in his earlier book, Nietzsche’s System (1996). In this book, written eight years later, he suggests that the ontological interpretation of the will to power “has small plausibility for most of us” (2004, p. 12).
