I am looking for a word

Postby Tinker » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:49 pm

What is a word that ecompasses the 'Will to Power', that means sort of like 'hubris' except without the connotation of it being over-stepping or over-reaching? Kind of like what noble meant before it became a synonym for virtuous. Basically the belief in one's own right to rule over others.

Would 'sovereign' be a close fit?.......

umn..... how 'bout Lacan's favourite, ?.......

More than just a sense of well-being as the dictionary implies. Freud uses it as a prelude to pathology, the Symbolists use it to describe sexual energy, I've seen it use to essentially name what you described in the OP. Derrida, perhaps? I'm thinking along the lines of , or self-realisation.......

Suzerain could work

What about borrowing from Old High German and going with a portmanteau of ehrwerden?

I have been trying to bring Jonkheer into the language.

It's been called the white man's burden ( sorta), but there goes the non-prejudicial thing.

Why not simply create a word? Happens all the time. I just made one up the other day. I mean, I had been drinking, but still.
Don't know what it is, but I'm agin'it.

Not sure if there is such a word. "Patrician" is the best I can think of.

Arrogance has a negative connotation, and mamie born implies privilege bestowed by society.

Think low born Ninja with high tech skills.
