text_original: The tyranny of this idio  syncrasy, however, results in the theory of "adaptation" being pushed forward into the van of the argument, ex  ploited; adaptation — that means to say, a second class activity, a mere capacity for "reacting"; in fact, life itself has been defined (by Herbert Spencer) as an increasingly effective internal adaptation to external circumstances. This definition, however, fails to realise the real essence of life, its will to power.
