hey guys im having to take Nietzsche's ''What, then, is truth?... etc." excerpt and find an example of how its been applied today either from other writers, scholars or teachers.
any help??
**here's the whole quote:
"What then is truth? A mobile army of metaphors, metonyms, and anthropomorphisms -- in short, a sum of human relations, which have been enhanced, transposed, and embellished poetically and rhetorically, and which after long use seem firm, canonical, and obligatory to a people: truths are illusions about which one has forgotten that is what they are; metaphors which are worn out and without sensuous power; coins which have lost their pictures and now matter only as metal, no longer as coins."

Truth is a process and happens to an idea. Verity is verification. Instead of asking whence an idea is derived or what are its premises, pragmtism examines its results. It shifts the emphasis and looks forward. It is the attitude of looking away from the first things, principles, categories, supposed necessities and of looking towards last things, fruits, consequences and facts.
Great question. Have a wonderful day!

God exists in an rather particular and unique way: God’s lifestyles is critical quite than contingent. with out God the way you Born God's lifestyles isn't a query yet How He Existed In An Infinitive Time Cycle Is the biggest question
