The Nietzschruth

Author: Nietzsche, Friedrich
Published: Germany, 1880

The truth about the truth is that there is no truth.

Thinking that there’s only one right way to think about something—that really is no way to think. (I think.) It’s simply a sign that our thinking is too fixed and narrow.

Instead of thinking that this is so or this isn’t so, we should think about how many ways there are to think about something.

As far as I know, there are many truths—and even in if there is a single truth, there’s no single correct perspective on it.

And even that might not be true.

After all, there are many other ways of thinking about how we should think about the truth.

And from another perspective, there might be just one truth, and just one right way to think about that truth.

In fact, now that I think about it, everything I just said is true from some perspectives, and untrue from other perspectives.

And in certain ways, the truth about the truth is that there is a truth.
