How Man develop Reason? The Role of Metaphor and Metonymy in Nietzsche's On Truth and Lies in nonmoral Sense
2018
Abstract
The interpretation of the role of metaphor and metonymy in Nietzsche's early essay On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense is based on the constructivism thesis. The core thesis is the double form of metaphor, or more precisely - metonymy.
It is used both in the sense of transposition (Übertragung) and in the sense of the positing of identity (Gleichsetzen). I aim to show that only the latter sense makes up for a truly human phenomenon.
According to Nietzche, it is solely here that we can talk about the reason and truth. At the same time I trace the reasons why Nietzsche's text had to remain unfinished.
