These three philosophers all challenge the correspondence model of truth and knowledge. Knowledge is simply guided by preconceptions: nietzsche. Knowledge manifests itself through will to power we fictionalize/transform: it"s a fabrication rather than a reflection, it is a fabrication of the will to power. Knowledge in terms of will to power (guides our experiences) Will to power: the desires of all living beings to improve its living conditions. The role of will to power in shaping morality, religion, and politics. Subjectivism what we see is a projection of the mind: heidegger. Knowledge means correspondence between facts and ideas (*not fabrication: all knowledge is contextual, all knowledge is interpretation; has a certain forestructure . Alter (guide) our understanding (*no mirroring of the world/ no model of reflection: truth is revelation, but not mimesis (imitational) The mind is a mirror of the world. We reveal dasein"s being-in-the-world through what we do in the world: foucault, knowledge is constituted by power relations.
