Nietzsche and truth Throughout Nietzsche's life his attitude towards truth and religion changed several times. He first left his Christian beliefs and changed his major from theology to philology to seek the truth. He didn't want to have faith without knowing beforehand what he was having faith in. In his thirties, Nietzsche began to interpret that people invented myths and stories to deny themselves the truth of life, thus giving it a different meaning. When Nietzsche begins to write "Beyond Good and Evil", Nietzsche changes his views again and describes the truth as a woman and the philosophers are the truth's unwanted men in his life who treat her in all the wrong ways, stating and “Suppose we want the truth, but why?” not rather falsehood, uncertainty or even ignorance”? Why look to the truth when there is so much other knowledge to look to? After questioning the truth, we move on to the topic of dualities and how they are said to be opposite to each other. He believes that instead of being jointly limited to each other, they are more jointly interdependent or complementary to each other. That what is considered good can be intertwined with what is considered evil and opposite, Nietzsche even goes so far as to name these opposites as one. Examples of these would be truth and deception, altruism and selfishness, well and Nietzsche informs the reader several times in the book that truth is not that important. This creates three different perspectives that you can read in the book. The first is that Nietzsche is trying to describe to us what he thinks is true, giving us another perspective on truth and how to perceive it. The second option is that Nietzsche does not tell us what he believes and is not truthful throughout the book because he chose lies over truth and asked the philosophers why not lies too. This tactic pushes the reader to express their own opinions and perceptions about the book instead of believing everything the author says. Then Nietzsche turns the tables and says to read a person's writings as if they were a memoir and that if philosophers are truly influenced by their unconscious instincts, then this is how we should read all philosophy. This would allow the reader to delve deeper into Nietzsche's personal life and opinions to discover a third interpretation of the book. The truth of Beyond Good and Evil is truly in the reader
