What Wikipedia says

The will to power (German: der Wille zur Macht) is the core concept in the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. The will to power describes what Nietzsche may have believed to be the main driving force in humans. He never systematically defined it, leaving its interpretation open to debate.
