Abstract

In this book, Clark attempts to reconstruct the complicated and shifting account of truth that informs Nietzsche's philosophical writings. The centerpiece of her study is a carefully documented interpretation of the development of Nietzsche's position on truth. She persuasively demonstrates that Nietzsche actually came to reject the early position on truth for which he is currently honored by postmodern scholars. Clark interprets the evolution of Nietzsche's position on truth as a sustained exercise in self correction, to which she attributes some of the most significant insights of his philosophical career.
