ABSTRACT
Perhaps no part of Nietzsche's philosophy is more confusing, even to the attentive reader, than what might broadly speaking be called his epistemology – that is, his treatment of knowledge, truth, and certain matters relating to them. Yet it also may well be that no other part of it is of greater contemporary interest and importance. The positions he takes in some cases turn out to accord closely with views currently enjoying considerable favor; while in others he in effect mounts a strong challenge to views equally widely held. This will already have become apparent to some extent in the course of the previous chapter. I shall now consider what he has to say along these lines more directly and systematically.
