Schopenhauer, Freud, Nietzsche, and Adler

Yes, there are some overlaps between these various philosophical and psychological theories, but each of these ideas has a specific setting and significance.  The instinctive urge or energy that pulls all living things towards survival and the continuation of the species is known as the "will to live," and it is something that Arthur Schopenhauer believed in. Similar to this, Sigmund Freud held a strong belief in the significance of the "sexual drive," which he considered as a primary factor in human motivation and conduct. The concept of Friedrich Nietzsche's "will to power" states that the fundamental motivation for all human conduct is the desire for control and mastery over one's surroundings. This philosophy is comparable to Abraham Maslow's notion of self-actualization, which held that people are driven by a desire to realize their potential and improve upon themselves. According to Alfred Adler's theory of "inferiority complex," people are motivated by emotions of insecurity and a need to prove their worth. In that it implies that people are driven by a desire to establish themselves and get beyond obstacles, this thought is similar to the "will to power" theory.

So, even if these ideas are different, they all have something in common.
