Abstract

This paper examines Nietzsche’s views on truth and knowledge in the context of both his rejectionof the Kantian thing-in-itself and his perspectivism. It is argued that Nietzsche’s principalcontention with the thing-in-itself centers round the dissociation of truth and justification. Thepaper argues that Nietzsche’s perspectivism, understood as an epistemic thesis, sows the seeds forthe overcoming of this sceptical dissociation
