>There is no universal truth

Can I read chapter 2 or do I have to start over?

>> No.15635459

Stop. Trash Nietzsche. Pick up Plato. Rinse. Repeat.

>There is no universal truth
Yeah might want to re-read considering that's not at all the point of chapter 1.

>> No.15635483

>>15635475
that’s just, like, your perspective, man

>>15635483
It's my perspective as someone who has read the entire book 3 times, vs your perspective of reading the first chapter once.

>>15635475
Well what then? Most of it was just trashing old philosophers' one liners like live according to nature and means of a means and even calls an absolute certainty contrafictio in adjecto

I still don't get it though, every philosopher has been going about truth the wrong way up until now?

>> No.15635877

Yeah. It's a very literal metaphor anon, why are you struggling with it?

Well how is that different from what I first said

"There is no universal truth" and "philosophers have thus far been unable to find any universal truth" are not equivalent statements. And yes, Nietzsche doesn't believe in universal truth, but he does allow for relative truth. And when he says "why not untruth", he isn't saying "why not think there isn't any truth" he's saying "why not stop caring whether something is true". Finish reading the book before you come here to complain.
