German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) is one of the most influential and widely read thinkers of all time. His works include Thus Spake Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, On the Genealogy of Morality, and The Will to Power. Taylor Carman is a professor of Philosophy at Columbia University.
This is Nietzsche's celebrated essay, in which he argues that truth is an illusion. Those ideas commonly agreed to be truths, according to Nietzsche, are mere beliefs and arbitrary constructions of human thought. From the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy: Scholars regard Nietzsche's 1873 unpublished essay, "On Truth and Lies" [the full title is "On Truth and Lies in a Non-Moral Sense"] as a keystone in his thought. In this essay, Nietzsche rejects the idea of universal constants, and claims that what we call truth is only a mobile army of metaphors, metonyms, and anthropomorphisms. His view at this time is that arbitrariness prevails within human experience: concepts originate via the transformation of nerve stimuli into images, and truth is nothing more than the invention of fixed conventions for practical purposes, especially those of repose, security and consistency. Viewing human existence from a great distance, Nietzsche further notes that there was an eternity before human beings came into existence, and believes that after humanity dies out, nothing significant will have changed in the great scheme of things.

他又比所有人都想得更深瞭一步。拋開不甚嚴謹的邏輯和天馬行空的尼采式行文不談,對於“真理”這一presupposition的批判無疑是鞭闢入裏的,如果能寫得再認真點或許康德和休謨都難望其項背。但尼采的狂狷不是鬧著玩的,整頁整頁都是“易證”和“證畢”,跳步太多,明顯不想好好答題,所以很難讀。與此同時,也看到瞭尼采逐漸成為一個虛無主義者的改變。除瞭一以貫之的憤世嫉俗(對哲學傢、基督教、自然科學、知識論、形而上學的懷疑和批評讓人真的很難把尼采歸類,或許這也是他想要的?)之外,縱深也在不斷增加。History of an Error那篇是點睛之筆,尼采對世界的想象恣意流淌,有種博爾赫斯即視感。讀到INCIPIT ZARATHUSTRA的時候著實被震撼到瞭——這一切,僅僅是個開始罷瞭。
