| Sitt, E: The Discovery of Truth by Experiencing Lies as Lies |
|
|
There has been much controversy concerning Nietzsche''s conception of truth. This book argues against both relativist and traditional interpretations of Nietzsche that he has a radical and absolute notion of truth, and that he rejects metaphysical truth not because it is absolute but because it is a pseudo-absolute that has been distorted by moral prejudices. It reconciles his claim to truth with his perspectivism and falsification thesis, both of which have been elsewhere interpreted as denials of truth, and, through a close reading of two passages from Beyond Good & Evil, reflects on Nietzsche''s question of the value of truth, his attack on metaphysics and morality, his complex relationship to the Western cultural and philosophical tradition, his infamous proclamation that God is dead, and the tremendous task and responsibility of philosophy as he sees it. This book will be useful both for scholars and for those who want an introduction to Nietzsche''s thought.
