Nietzsche’s notion of “Perspectivism” offers an anti-foundationalist account of truth, rejecting the idea of truth as an absolute entity and instead framing it as something shaped by human interpretation. For Nietzsche, knowledge and truth are always formed within the boundaries of perspectives, with no universal or independent criterion to ground them. This article first examines the significance of perspectivism in Nietzsche’s thought, contrasting it with traditional theories of truth such as correspondence, coherence, and pragmatism. It then considers the epistemological implications of Nietzsche’s approach and its relationship to the concept of truth in his philosophy. Finally, it addresses the challenges raised by perspectivism, particularly the dangers of relativism and the apparent paradox it contains, arguing that Nietzsche does not deny truth altogether. Rather, he promotes a model in which perspectives are critically compared and evaluated. The article concludes that Nietzsche’s perspectivism does not abolish truth but instead highlights the central role of diverse interpretations in shaping human knowledge.
