Purchase one of 1st World Library's Classic Books and help support our free internet library of downloadable eBooks. 1st World Library-Literary Society is a non-profit educational organization. Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - 1. The Will to Truth, which is to tempt us to many a hazardous enterprise, the famous Truthfulness of which all philosophers have hitherto spoken with respect, what questions has this Will to Truth not laid before us! What strange, perplexing, questionable questions! It is already a long story; yet it seems as if it were hardly commenced. Is it any wonder if we at last grow distrustful, lose patience, and turn impatiently away? That this Sphinx teaches us at last to ask questions ourselves? WHO is it really that puts questions to us here? WHAT really is this "Will to Truth" in us? In fact we made a long halt at the question as to the origin of this Will - until at last we came to an absolute standstill before a yet more fundamental question. We inquired about the VALUE of this Will. Granted that we want the truth: WHY NOT RATHER untruth? And uncertainty? Even ignorance? The problem of the value of truth presented itself before us - or was it we who presented ourselves before the problem? Which of us is the Oedipus here? Which the Sphinx? It would seem to be a rendezvous of questions and notes of interrogation. And could it be believed that it at last seems to us as if the problem had never been propounded before, as if we were the first to discern it, get a sight of it, and RISK RAISING it? For there is risk in raising it, perhaps there is no greater risk.

Autorenporträt
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche war ein deutscher klassischer Philologe. Postum machten ihn seine Schriften als Philosophen weltberühmt. Im Nebenwerk schuf er Dichtungen und musikalische Kompositionen. Er war zunächst preußischer Staatsbürger, ab seiner Übersiedlung nach Basel 1869 war er staatenlos. Im Alter von 24 Jahren wurde Nietzsche unmittelbar im Anschluss an sein Studium an der Universität Basel Professor für klassische Philologie. Bereits zehn Jahre später legte er 1879 aus gesundheitlichen Gründen die Professur nieder. Von nun an bereiste er - auf der Suche nach Orten, deren Klima sich günstig auf seine Migräne und Magenleiden auswirken sollten - Frankreich, Italien, Deutschland und die Schweiz. Ab seinem 45. Lebensjahr (1889) litt er unter einer psychischen Krankheit, die ihn arbeits- und geschäftsunfähig machte. Seinen Anfang der 1890er Jahre rasch einsetzenden Ruhm hat er deshalb nicht mehr bewusst erlebt. Er verbrachte den Rest seines Lebens als Pflegefall in der Obhut zunächst seiner Mutter, dann seiner Schwester und starb 1900 im Alter von 55 Jahren.
