Nietzsche's "On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense"

from The Great Dangerous Books Podcast · host gdbookspodcast

In this episode, Jared and Jim return from a hiatus to discuss their favorite episodes, current readings, and delve into Nietzsche's philosophy, particularly his essay 'On Truth and Lie in an Extra-Moral Sense.' They explore themes of truth, deception, the nature of knowledge, and the role of language and metaphor in understanding reality. The conversation highlights the importance of idiosyncratic experiences and critiques modernity's tendency to suppress individuality and creativity.   https://dn790002.ca.archive.org/0/items/NietzscheTruthLiesInANonmoralSense1873/Nietzsche%20-%20Truth%20%26%20Lies%20in%20a%20Nonmoral%20Sense%20%281873%29.pdf
