“Perspectivism” in Nietzsche’s philosophy, as an anti-foundationalist approach, conceives “truth” not as an absolute entity but as a construct dependent on various human interpretations. Nietzsche argues that knowledge and truth are always constituted within the framework of multiple perspectives, and no independent or universal criterion for truth exists. This article first examines the significance of Nietzsche’s perspectivism and analyzes it in contrast to traditional theories of truth, such as the correspondence, coherence, and pragmatist theories. Subsequently, it explores the relationship between this perspective and the concept of truth in Nietzsche’s philosophy, investigating its epistemological implications. Finally, by addressing the challenges posed by this theory, particularly the issues of “relativism” and the “paradox” of perspectivism, it will be demonstrated that Nietzsche, rather than rejecting the possibility of truth altogether, advocates for a model in which perspectives are critically compared and evaluated. This study concludes that Nietzsche’s perspectivism does not entail the denial of truth but underscores the role of diverse interpretations in the formation of human knowledge.
