Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche on Will, Truth, and Its Value

Find more Philosophy Books.

“What in us really wills truth? In fact, we paused for a long time before the question of the cause of this will – until we finally came to a complete standstill in front of an even more fundamental question. We asked about the value of this will, Granted, we will truth: Why not untruth instead? And uncertainty? Even ignorance? The problem of the value of truth came before us, - or was it we who came before the problem?”

-Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
