Aleister Crowley, Friedrich Nietzsche and the Will to Power
The concept of "Will" is a central pillar of 20th-century philosophy and occultism, from Aleister Crowley’s Thelema to Friedrich Nietzsche’s "Will to Power." Michael Hoffman’s "Twilight Language" identifies the name "Willard" (as in Mitt Romney) as a signifier for one who is willful. This focus on the human will is traced back to medieval theologians like Duns Scotus and is viewed as a defining characteristic of the modern era.
