Sažetak
This essay tries to answer two related questions. First, adopting Nietzsche's principle of the "enhancement of life" as a kind of basic value, would truth and truth-telling have high, medial, or no significance at all? Second, in what sense does Nietzsche think that "the falsehood of a judgment is [...] not necessarily an objection to it"? In order to give a satisfactory answer to these two questions, the author illustrates how, from his essay entitled "On Truth and Lies in an Non-Moral Sense" to the collection of aphorisms entitled "Beyond Good and Evil, " Nietzsche develops his analysis and critique of the conventional philosophical theory of truth into a full-fledged theory of multiperspectivism. Having reconstructed Nietzsche's inquiry of the conventional concept of truth and his theory of perspectivism, the author gives a casuistic answer to the two aforementioned questions.
