Friedrich Nietzsche, Truth And Lies - Intellect And Dissimulation - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses the 19th century philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, and focuses on his essay On Truth and Lies in an Extra-Moral Sense. Here we examine Nietzsche's discussion of the human intellect. Like other philosophers he considers it to be a distinctively human capacity, but by contrast to them, he thinks that its focus isn't attaining truth, but rather that it is involved in dissimulation and lying.
