objectivity, christianity, myth, science, antiquityAbstract
This article deals with the way in which Nietzsche, in his reinterpretation of the Greek World and on the margins of a vision of history at the service of life, postulates a Perspectivism against nineteenth-century historical science’s objectivistic dream of narrating «how the facts really happened». The article holds that the Nietzschean critique of Classical Philology involves questioning the rationalistic goals of scientific truth as a moral tendency towards truth and an expression of a Christian biased teleology, in order to uphold a new historical approach, an approach termed as «mythological» by Sloterdijk and White.
