Abstract

This research proposal deals with a possible relationship between the Platonic concept of acrasia and the nietzschean concept of will to power. What is specific to the constitution of both terms, has a common root, does not have a conduct of different use, only a philosophical position on the implementation of such an approach, that is, a matter of perspective. A research will be divided into different moments, in order to validate a conjecture proposal. In the first instance, export Plato's panoramic mode and understanding of the problem of acrasia as an anomaly that would lead to an excess and therefore harmful conduct for individuals and society. In a second moment, expose Nietzsche's understanding of the will to power, as constituted by himself and with life value, seeking to show a possible choice between the two terms, correlating them with a human conduct and proposing a similarity between the two. thoughts of Plato and Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900).
