Read battle of the brains by Strindberg. The first 3 pages, it is like Nietzsche for dummies.

nietzsche establishes that the will to power is true in all circumstances (past present future), which makes it not a fact or observation (as we cannot observe the future without first inducing) so this makes the will to power an absolute truth, which cannot exist as god does not exist

you’re retarded. i see from the amount of words you used to explain your shit tier thinking that you’re beyond repair. drop Nietzsche and pick another brainteaser please.

No, he treated it as an interpretation like everything else.

>> No.15559624

deleuze's book on nietzsche has good things about the will to power and the eternal return.

"there are no absolute truths" is also an absolute truth, no? so something else must be going on... otherwise he wouldnt have said all that stuff

I haven't read Deleuze, but I assume he tries to grapple with this problem. Pretty much all of the French during his time were just grappling with Nietzsche, as if Nietzsche coerced all of them to get into philosophy.

The bottom line is this: Nietzsche neither intended the line, "There are no facts, only interpretations" to be read as a fact, nor did that interpretation of his mean that we should not permit ourselves to talk about things that aren't facts. On the contrary, Nietzsche was telling Europe to stop cowering behind the neurotic and endless pursuit of "facts" and to embrace its Dionysian will to power. Facts are things of our own making; the world is only as complex as we ourselves are. If you work on yourself, and improve yourself, and overcome your fears, and reconcile your weaknesses, and explore your environment, and expand your experiences outside your comfort zone, and you survive all that, you will grow stronger, and through this maturity the world will become more complex to you, because you yourself will have become more complex. Your body (the interpreter) and the world (the interpretation) are one with each other—if you let your body go, you'll let the world go as well.

So there *might* be absolute truths?

>> No.15560495

>>15559064
Stating there are no absolute truths is a contradiction because it is implying an absolute truth.

The existence of absolute truths has nothing to do with Yahweh and his gay sidekick, brainlet.
