About the event
Join us for a compelling one-session class led by Professor Claude Mangion as we delve into Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophical essay "On Truth and Lies in a Non-moral Sense." In this insightful session, Professor Mangion will guide us through Nietzsche's argument against the possibility of attaining objective knowledge of reality. Instead of pursuing absolute knowledge, Nietzsche posits that all knowledge is perspectival—a claim that significantly influenced early postmodern thinkers.
Professor Mangion will also examine the recent challenges to Nietzsche's perspectivism brought about by the resurgence of Realism in contemporary Continental Philosophy.
