Abstract

Examines the sociological aspects of Nietzsche's philosophy, focusing on his distinction between the powerful and the powerless and relating his concept of power to current sociological theory. The method of parallelism, while leaving much to be desired, shows how Nietzsche's thought is sociological and still valid today. Aspects of power considered by Nietzsche are seen as extending the insight of sociologists, particularly as they relate to exchange theory.
