No truth

'There are no truth, only interpretations.'
Nietzsche.
------------

If Nietsche is correct, then the affirmation is false and Nietzsche is wrong.

If Nietzsche is wrong, there are truths and interpretations.

Probably Nietzche did not sleep well when he wrote that sentence. Let us attributed to lack of sleep.

Of course, we could accept it as true just by dumping reason. Could you live in an unreasonable universe? Of course, not.

Nietzsche.

Your reasoning is wrong because you are misunderstanding the core argument here. Nietzsche says that there are only interpretations of truths and no truth by itself. Thus, what he says cannot be the truth but only the interpretation of it. Therefore, what he says is the truth (one interpretation of it).

Sure. But look

If you are telling me the truth...then you are not telling me the truth but an interpretation of the truth...then why should I take you seriously since you are not telling me the truth but the way you see the truth...Why should I care about your interpretation...I think that I should care more about the truth itself...If the true has not objetivity then all become worthless...and there is not meaning on anything...a typical trap of postmodernist madness.

Furthermore, if N. is telling the truth then he is not telling me the real truth...
do you see? It is just a language game, a brain game while we await for death.
