On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense Hardback
by Friedrich Nietzsche, Original Thinkers Institute
Hardback
Description
A philosophical essay written by Nietzsche, it provides an account for (and thereby a critique of) the contemporary considerations of truth and concepts. Nietzsche's main argument in the essay is that concepts are metaphors which do not correspond to reality. He talks about this in the context of the establishment of language. The ideas presented in the essay have been particularly influential among postmodern theorists making this as a critical work of postmodernism.
Regarded as one of the most profound German philosophers, Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) is popularly considered a cultural critic and philologist whose work exerted a scholarly influence on modern intellectual history. His intellectual works focus on widespread themes such as religion, morality, philosophy, and science. Prominent elements of his philosophy include his radical critique of truth, a genealogical criticism of religion, and Christian morality. His body of work touched a wide range of topics, including art, philology, history, music, tragedy, and culture, most of which drew inspiration from Greek tragedy.
