Abstract

The fundamental — and many would say lingering — challenge to Nietzsche concerns how he canground the will to power, given what he says about metaphysics as a philosophic prejudice. Does histeaching not topple of its own weight/lessness? It is the standard objection to which all postmodernphilosophers must respond. This article examines what Nietzsche says about the limits of truth and therole that experience and perspective have in setting standards by which we might live correctly. Thewill to power, Nietzsche instructs, is a claim on truth, confirmed only to the extent that it serves life and culture. Hence Nietzsche’s most basic doctrine appears in nature as a source of order and value, without imposing itself as such
