[MD] Nietzsche on truth

[MarshaV]

Hi Mark,

Oh, and I thought you had it as the metaphysics of meaning?  Or maybe you'd have it be a metaphysics dedicated to whatever your automatic writing pulls up from your depths.  What you measure to be relevant? Good one!  -  Does a  _host of metaphors, metonymies and anthropomorphisms_  sound like some object.  Either way, all this messy talk of "truths" with its long, broad and deep philosophical connotations, denotation and conflict leads me to prefer to use RMP's term for objects of knowledge: static patterns of value.  On your recommendation it seems to be to stick to the MoQ vernacular when it suits you and ignore it as 'only a model' when it doesn't suit you.  I think I'll pay you no mind.

A movable host of metaphors, metonymies, and; anthropomorphisms: in short, a sum of human relations which have been poetically and rhetorically intensified, transferred, and embellished, and which, after long usage, seem to a people to be fixed, canonical, and binding. Truths are illusions which we have forgotten are illusions- they are metaphors that have become worn out and have been drained of sensuous force, coins which have lost their embossing and are now considered as metal and no longer as coins.

For so far we have heard only of the duty which society imposes in order to exist: to be truthful means to employ the usual metaphors. Thus, to express it morally, this is the duty to lie according to a fixed convention, to lie with the herd and in a manner binding upon everyone..."
