Suppose nothing else were "given" as real except our world of desires and passions, and we could not
get down, or up, to any other "reality" besides the reality of our drives--for thinking is merely a relation of
these drives to each other: is it not permitted to make the experiment and to ask the question whether
this "given" would not be sufficient for also understanding on the basis of this kind of thing the so-called
mechanistic (or "material") world?...

Suppose, finally, we succeeded in explaining our entire instinctive life as the development and
ramification of one basic form of the will--namely, of the will to power, as my proposition has it... then one
would have gained the right to determine all efficient force univocally as--will to power.

The world viewed from inside... it would be "will to power" and nothing else.
