Document Summary

In 3. 24 shows us how this is connected with philosophy. We too still take our fire from that great fire that was ignited by a thousand-year-old belief, that belief of christians, which was also. Plato"s belief, that god is truth, that truth is divine God himself proves to be our longest lie? Because the ascetic ideal has until now been lord over all philosophy, because truth was posited as being, as god, as highest authority; because truth was simply not permitted to be a problem. This moral point of view" is unreal, constructed by abstraction. Social constructs designed to serve the interests of some group or other in society: stuck in a particular perspective from which some things seem true. Only response is to accept the ineliminability of perspectives and to take up as many as possible. The task before us is to confer values on intrinsically valueless pursuits.
