Abstract

It is usually said that there is no truth for Nietzsche, thus turning the German philosopher into sponsor of that sort of absolute relativism so widespread all over the geography of our educational institutions. What I try here to show and to prove is the falsity of such affirmation: Nietzsche criticizes, and dissolves, the traditional conception of truth, the idea that we —human beings— with the help of knowledge reach reality as it is. But he
does so in order to depict better what we actually do when we think we are getting hold of true reality. And what we do is the truly human truth.
