Nietzsche's Metaphors Of Truth

271 Words2 Pages
Nietzsche claims. that truth is a product of metaphor upon metaphor. So this leaves us asking what is truth? According to Nietzsche, it is a collection of metaphors. It is the sum of human relations, which have been enhanced, and which after long use seem firm and obligatory to man. Nietzsche cuts short the objection to his perspectivism. Even to say that truth as an illusion must be understood in a specialized sense that the image must not be taken as a true reflection of an absolute reality. Nietzsche claims that truth is a collective convention, a product of uncertain beings who temporarily occupy a temporary place in the universe. Truth is established as a conceptual peace treaty that instills uniformity and binding titles for things.
