In a remote corner of the universe, poured into countless shimmering solar systems, there once was a star, upon which intelligent animals invented knowledge. It was the most arrogant and the most deceptive moment in 'World History', but it was certainly just a moment. After a few breaths of nature, the star froze, and the ingenious animals had to die.
'On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense' (1873) is one of the drafts with which Nietzsche filled one notebook after another with occasional, unsystematic thoughts, outlines for books, sketches for research programs, and rough drafts for essays. This essay has become the subject of close scientific interest, and for many of Nietzsche's readers - friends as well as foes - it contains his most profound views on the relationship between language, sensory perception, knowledge, and truth, in a word, on the relationship between representation and reality.
Even more significant is the fact that the essay raises a question, the question of the origin and significance of ascribing immense value to truth and knowledge. For his admirers, 'On Truth and Lies' is a brilliant attempt to undermine the 'metaphysical tradition' from within.
This edition also includes the essay 'On the Passion of Truth', written for Cosima Wagner: 'In token of heartfelt honor, and in response to verbal and written inquiries, [five prefaces] that were written with delight during the Christmas days of 1872.'
