Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to argue that, in Nietzscheřs context, to discuss about ideology is plausible. Firstly, I have analyzed Nietzscheřs concept of force and how the will to power synthesizes forces. Secondly, I have argued that consciousness is a function of the will to power. Thirdly. I have suggested that as long as the will to power interprets the values in the light of increasing its power, we are dealing with a rational interpretation. Lastly, I have concluded that an affirmative will to power, because constantly creates values, and reinterprets them, cannot be affected by an ideology. Only the negative will to power is subjected to ideology.
