Part 2/7:
The discourse opens with a frame of reference grounded in early psychoanalytic theory. Freud’s concepts lean heavily on sexual energy as the fundamental driving force of human behavior. In contrast, Nietzsche’s will to power presents an alternative lens, focusing on broader themes of dominance and control. This dialogue between Freud and Nietzsche illustrates a collision of ideas about what primarily motivates human actions. From this, we glean that individuals exhibit a blend of both energies, with one often receding while the other takes precedence.
