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
