Friedrich Nietzsche, Truth And Lies - Rationality, Abstraction & Anthropomorphism - Sadlers Lectures

Sadler's Lectures - A podcast by Lectures on classic and contemporary philosophical texts and thinkers by Gregory B. Sadler

Categories:

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 development of a larger framework of truth, in which rationality, abstraction, and anthropomorphism play central roles. An entire domain of what seems to be objective truth ends up being established, connected together with social structures and hierarchies.
