F. NIETZSCHE’S PERSPEKTYVIZMO SAMPRATA by Arūnas Mickevičius

“…Nietzsche’s perspektyvizmo koncepcija skelbia, kad nėra jokių faktų savaime, kuriais pažinimo procese būtų galima remtis, jokios pažinimu siektinos vienos, universalios ir vienos vienintelės tiesos, kuri leistų pateikti vienintelį teisingą pasaulio paaiškinimą, bet yra tik interpretacijos. Tačiau perspektyvizmo sampratoje įmanoma įžvelgti atramos tašką ir taip kalbėti apie savitą, negatyviai, per „pėdsaką“ nusakomą tiesos egzistavimo patirtį. …”
