The objective of this work is to understand how the uniqueness of the individual is conceived. Since the light of consciousness turned on, the human species has been compelled to deal with the dilemma between nature and culture. There are those who defend the idea that we are completely cultural, and the question that arises from this perspective is whether the individual does not have innate characteristics of their own. Based on Nietzsche's proposal to become what one is and Jung's concept of individuation, we seek answers to these questions and evaluate how much of Nietzsche Jung brings into the psychic system of his analytical psychology. The conquest of oneself is an object of study for both thinkers and based on this prerogative we will analyze their similarities and divergences. The Nietzschean Will to Power underlies all manifestations of reality and the Jungian Archetypes would be the equivalent of the structure that models these manifestations. Understanding the relationship between the Will to Power and the Archetypes is one of the crucial points of this research. These two concepts will serve as a basis for investigating what the individual of the human species brings with it as collective and individual characteristics.
