Friedrich Nietzsche and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Chouraqui argues,
are linked by how they conceive the question of truth. Although
both thinkers criticize the traditional co ncept of truth as
objectivity, they both find that rejecting it does not solve the
problem. What is it in our natural existence that gave rise to the
notion of truth?
The answer to that question is threefold. First, Nietzsche and
Merleau-Ponty both propose a genealogy of "truth" in which to exist
means to make implicit truth claims. Second, both seek to recover
the preobjective ground from which truth as an erroneous concept
arose. Finally, this attempt at recovery leads both thinkers to
ontological considerations regarding how we must conceive of a
being whose structure allows for the existence of the belief in
truth. In conclusion, Chouraqui suggests that both thinkers'
investigations of the question of truth lead them to conceive of
being as the process of self-falsification by which indeterminate
being presents itself as determinate.
