| |
− | | Will to truth is a making firm, a making true and durable,
| |
− | | an abolition of the false character of things,
| |
− | | a reinterpretation of it into beings.
| |
− | |
| |
− | | "Truth" is therefore not something there, that might be found or discovered --
| |
− | | but something that must be created and that gives a name to a process,
| |
− | | or rather to a will to overcome that has in itself no end --
| |
− | | introducing truth, as a processus in infinitum, an active determining --
| |
− | | not a becoming-conscious of something that is in itself firm and determined.
| |
− | |
| |
− | | It is a word for the "will to power".
| |

| |
− | | (Nietzsche, 'The Will to Power', S 552, 298).
| |

| |
− | | Life is founded upon the premise of a belief in enduring
| |
− | | and regularly recurring things; the more powerful life is,
| |
− | | the wider must be the knowable world to which we, as it were,
| |
− | | attribute being. Logicizing, rationalizing, systematizing as
| |
− | | expedients of life.
| |
− | |
| |
− | | (Nietzsche, 'The Will to Power', S 552, 298-299).
| |
− |
| |
− | | Man projects his drive to truth, his "goal" in a certain sense,
| |
− | | outside himself as a world that has being, as a metaphysical world,
| |
− | | as a "thing-in-itself", as a world already in existence. His needs
| |
− | | as creator invent the world upon which he works, anticipate it;
| |
− | | this anticipation (this "belief" in truth) is his support.
