The incessant criticism of Nietzsche to the mechanicism (Mechanistik) presents in his later writings show the importance of the refutation of the mechanistic thinking. The aim of this paper is to propose, after investigation of the criticism nietzschinian to mechanicism, the will to power (Wille zur Macht) as a conception of the world and the life able to overcome it. In criticizing the mechanicism, the German philosopher seeks to overcome its many facets imposing the doctrine of will to power as dominant. Nietzsche does not attack the mechanicism from a single point of view, but from multiple perspectives, denounces it as a theory which reduces the coming-to-be the logic, as dogmatic science, as theory teleological, utilitarian, and as a particular form of metaphysics and of christianity. From the dynamic struggle between impulses and the tendency of growth of intensity, Nietzsche aims to provide an interpretation of the processes that not only exceeds the present explanations at the mechanistic theories, but, above all, that affirms the life as a continuous struggle and overcoming. This new attitude of the world, thought as overcoming of the mechanicism, emerges from a Homogeneität of effectiveness (Wirklichkeit) in which every event is explained in terms of the will to power: there are no metaphysical dichotomies present in the world, has no teleology, was not created by a god. The world is changing or moving around, without beginning or end, and returns eternally. The life or the body is no longer thought of as organized matter and becomes a battleground between various forces or impulses that struggle each other for more power in a continuous process of overcoming resistance. In this confrontation between mechanicism and will to power, Nietzsche needs of the life as criterion to establish the superiority of his theory. It is from a psychophysiological analysis of the life that the differences can be established: through the investigation of the present symptom in all evaluation, it establishes a hierarchy (Rangordnung) between types of life. The outcome of this can to denounce the mechanicism as a physiological symptom of decay, ie, as a theory that denies the dynamic and perspectivist character of the life. Conceiving that the mechanistic theories are rooted in moral and metaphysical prejudices, the philosopher considers the mechanicism a theory inferior and presents the will to power as upper. On contrary of the mechanicism, the will to power affirms the life as continuous overcoming, and, therefore, Nietzsche considers an upper interpretation, presenting it as a new alternative explanation of the existence.
