ABSTRACT
If life were a dog, the tale of philosophy should not wag it. If life were a ship, its philosophical rudder should hold a key to successful routes to truth.
Bernard Williams (2002) has demonstrated that relations between ‘truth’ and ‘truthfulness’ are more unstable in our cultural genealogy than our contemporary philosophy allows. He develops his own fine version of a genealogy of truthfulness, which is a descendant of Nietzsche’s composition of genealogy.
