Subject: Nietzsche andWill to Power.




	I am asking for some advice regarding Nietzsche and his perspectivism.  I 
I have read and examined MaudeMarie Clark's book Nietzsche: On Truth and 
Philosophy, which has been helpful.  Yet, she wants to suggest that his 
perspectivism is anti-foudational.  I would like to suggest otherwise.  I be      
believe Nietzsche to have a foundation for all beliefs.  This truth is of
course Will to Power.  I find that Nietzsche is claiming that all human action
including epistemological "action" is grounded in the truth of Will to Power.
This would deny the notion that Nietzsche is "anti-foundational".  Furthermore,
just as Descartes had the "ego cogito", Nietzsche has WP!  But where do the 
perspectives for knowledge come from.  Rather, is the perspectivism 
epiphenomenal as a result of Will to Power and oppositional relationships?
Some thoughts, please?

					thanks,
