Is everything fundamentally One? Or is the universe fragmented at the Noumenal level? What would Nietzsche's answer to this question be?
I'm having trouble answering this because, conflict is such an important concept in Nietzsche, and conflict presupposes two differentiated forces fighting against each other(Weak/Reactive, Strong/Active in Nietzsche) but at the same time the doctrine of The Will To Power seems to presuppose a certain oneness to the universe, that fundamentally everything is this one Will (like Schopenhauer)
Thoughts?

the concept of flux presupposes differentiation, i dont think Nietsche would agree with kant and schoppy when they said there is no plurality at the noumenal level

good post
if you're really interested in identity and difference in Nietzsche, look no further than Deleuze. The will to power is the creation of difference that is not reducible to the identical. The eternal recurrence, for him, expresses precisely this: the universe is a continual productive process, but a process which continually produces only difference. It is not a whole (being), but a process (becoming). So there is only will to power, but it is not identical to itself and is not an essence, being, or whole.
I'd also recommend taking the question of being versus becoming, as Nietzsche did, all the way back to Heraclitus and Parminedes.

But you must remember that Heraclitus said there was no differentiation of the Logos (this being more like Hegel's Geist than the Logos of Christianity), and men deluded themselves into thinking they had private intellects of their own.
>We should let ourselves be guided by what is common to all. Yet, although the Logos is common to all, most men live as if each of them had a private intelligence of his own.
