Friedrich Nietzsche, Truth and Lies | The Invention of Truth and Lying | Philosophy Core Concepts

The book Nietzsche on Rhetoric and Language -

This Core Concept video focuses on Friedrich Nietzsche's short essay On Truth and Lying in an Extra-Moral Sense, and focuses on his discussion of how the opposition between truth and lying arises within human conduct and culture.

My videos are used by students, lifelong learners, other professors, and professionals to learn more about topics, texts, and thinkers in philosophy, religious studies, literature, social-political theory, critical thinking, and communications. These include college and university classes, British A-levels preparation, and Indian civil service (IAS) examination preparation

Thanks for posting this Gregory. I'd love to hear your thoughts on Max Scheler's _Formalism in Ethics and Non-Formal Ethics of Values_

I have a deeply existential question.
I completely understand the concept here, how these all came to be, the truth behind truths and lies. I understand that it is all metaphor.
But what does it mean? How we should live then? What is the message? How can I get out of Nietzschean bleak pessimism?

How can I go back to love for humanity when I know this? What philosophy can go deeper into this and save me from this existential angst.

Great video!
Destructive truth is like climate change? Most people don't want to hear it?

[jdsword]

So, much like many of Nietzsche's genealogies, the distinction between truth and lies arise as a shared convention among the herd; what is considered truth and lie is merely a matter of consensus among the herd and in so far as it serves the needs of the herd or the individual?

What's he getting at when he says it's truth and lies "in the extramoral sense?"

[DarkFire]

Does Nietzsche deal with people lying to themselves? Surely that would reside outside of any shared 'herd' consensus but would still according to his concept be a perversion of the use of language that would be detrimental, but in this case detrimental to the self?

[Retrogamer]

I had no idea Nietzsche had written such a book.

[lordmaximus]

What about someone who does not follow the concepts of the peaceful agreement but does not benefit. For example people from a different culture who do not share the same truth. Are these also liars who would call a shirt a zuba zuba?

"It is almost better to tell your own lies than somebody else's truth; in the first case you are a man, in the second you are no better than a parrot!"

Go outside and live your life people. Please.
