The challenge which i'll remedy inside this e-book is how Nietzsche can always recommend a metaphysics whereas additionally maintaining that no matter what he says isn't actual. the matter is a vital one simply because together with his denial of the reality Nietzsche had an important impact on philosophy within the 20th century—he grew to become the muse of post-modernism whose proponents deny the chance that humans ever get to understand the reality. All post-modernist philosophers should have a respond to the liar paradox, and so they need to clarify why what they need to say issues, simply because in the event that they themselves declare that what they are saying isn't real, it's not seen why one should still hearken to what they need to say. Nehamas confirmed convincingly that during Nietzsche’s case the liar paradox doesn't follow, for inside of his philosophy ‘no one is obliged to believe’ [Nehamas (1985): P. sixty seven] what Nietzsche stated [Nehamas (1985): chap. 2]. even though, Nehamas, in addition to the entire different interpreters, doesn't have an appropriate respond to the second one query. All he says is that Nietzsche’s philosophy means that ‘one’s personal perspectives are the simplest for oneself with no implying that they wish be sturdy for someone else’ [Nehamas (1985): P.72] which isn't a delightful answer since it doesn't clarify why a person may still hearken to what Nietzsche has to claim. i'll be extra particular approximately this within the final major half the place I additionally current my whole respond to this question; this can result in the realization that Nietzsche regards his philosophy as more desirable simply because he expects it to attract the spirit of destiny times.
As the matter which i'll clear up with this booklet already suggests,the ebook is mainly exegetical. i can't speak about no matter if Nietzsche’s philosophy is believable or now not, and that i will also now not indicate the place Nietzsche, in response to my brain, has long gone improper. All i'll do is to place ahead a brand new interpretation of the parts of Nietzsche’s philosophy suitable to the matter in query, and that i will follow Augustine’s precept of charity: “what is learn needs to be diligently grew to become over within the brain till an interpretation is located that promotes the reign of charity” [quoted in Beardsley (1966): P. 109], for i believe that this is often what a great interpreter has to do.

Example text
11, 26 (431), my translation] Apollo 45 For Nietzsche the world is organic, is life, is force, is the will to power. The qualities he attributes to the organic things or organisms which constitute the world (the whole world cannot be one organism, but it is completely organic, so it has to be constituted out of organisms) are as follows: organisms have a mind, memory, the ability to digest the memories, and interpretative capacities. The whole amount of force or will to power is finite and always remains the same; things in the world can only be constituted out of certain amounts of force; the relationships these things have among each other are relationships with respect to their strength; and the central notion which underlies all the other ones is will to power, of course.
C = Therefore there can only be one substance. ” This premise in Nietzsche as well as in Spinoza brings about an ontology consisting of one kind of substance. 13 Since the phrase “will can only act upon will” can be taken as a self-evident statement, I think that it is justified to put it in the second category of justifications. Secondly, there is the claim that the overall amount of force or will to power always is the same—the preservation of force or will to power, which can also be regarded as self-evident.
So what he was in need of was a new value system:“All the sciences have from now on to prepare the way for the future task of the philosophers: this task understood as the solution of the problem of value, the determination of the order of rank of values. ” [GM 1. Essay note] Although the theory of value was Nietzsche’s main concern he also had to deal with metaphysical questions because value systems always find their ultimate justification in a metaphysics. Nietzsche who has traditionally been referred to as the major critic of metaphysics acknowledges this himself: In regard to philosophical metaphysics, I see more and more who are making for the negative goal (that all positive metaphysics is an error) but still few who are taking a few steps back; for one may well look out over the topmost rung of the ladder, but one ought not to want to stand on it.
