On Truth and Lie, Nietzsche
honesty is no different than
a lie
truth is actually
a mobile army of metaphors that have been enhanced rhetorically they are like coins that have lost their pictures, illusions
What does he start with
clever animals invented knowledge, but after the star grew cold the humans had to die
what is the universal effect of knowledge
deception
who is he talking about
humans
what does Nietzsche say about Genesis
if genesis was the originator of language then it would be arbitrary to call a stone "hard" or a snake "snake" when it could be classified as something else
Nietzsche says what about the illusion of truth
if man is not willing to accept truths in the form of a tautology then he will forever buy illusions of truth
what metaphor does he use to show the insignificance every human being has in nature
mosquito floating in the air shows the insignificance every human being has in nature
truth depends on
ones perspective
metaphor of the leaf
something in nature besides leaves could be called a leaf , an orginal form which is copied by "leaves"
what does he state about the arrogance that lies within knowledge
the haughtiness or arrogance that lies within knowledge deceives one about the value of existence
why do truths looks solid
truths only look solid because they have been around for so long
