Lets go back to this post and pick up on Deleuze's Nietzsche and Philosophy.There I argued that what is missing from Deleuxes account of the connection between active force and will power is Nietzsche's link to the enhancement of life. I said that Deleuze says that ''Becoming-active is affirming and affirmative, just as becoming reactive is negative and nihilistic." (p.68). However, affirming and affirmation is related to affirming one's own differences whilst becoming reactive is negative in the sense of denial of differences.

Deleuze understands that the transvaluation of values means affirmation instead of negation, which he codes as negation transformed into a power of affirmation.
