Abstract

In this paper I point out, by means of the notion of vanity, to a psychologycal connection between Shopenhauer’s concept of ‘will to live’ and Nietzsche’s ‘will to power’. I consider that such an interpretative possibility has been forgot by the scholars due to the fact that the analysis of the notion of vanity, be it in relation to Schopenhauer’s or Nietzsche’s philosophy, does not provide us with all the elements of the puzzle at hand. A term capable of conection both philosophies, regarding this issues, seems to be lacking. My hypothesis is that in order to achieve such a connection, it is necessary to understand how Paul Rée developed in Psychological Observations some philosophical parameters wich make it possible to use the concept of vanity to analyse human actions. I understand, therefore, that it was Rée who furnished the elements by means of wich Nietzsche was able to, departing from the notion of vanity, achieve the concept of ‘will to power’.
