This, I suggest, just begs the question of what power and weakness are. I
know that sweet Lambda C will argue vociferously that this question has
been answered by Nietzsche's discussion of active and re-active forces. I
don't think this distinction as N. makes it is valid, but let us for the sak=
e
of argument say that it is. Since N. assigns different values to active
and re-active forces, his use of these terms, I would suggest, amounts to a
re-naming of good and bad and good and evil. Re-naming is hardly an
overcoming of metaphysics; it is just a silly game of semantics.
