In Nietzsche's Perspectivism, Steven Hales and Rex Welshon offer an
analytic approach to Nietzsche's important idea that truth is
perspectival. Drawing on Nietzsche's entire published corpus, along
with manuscripts he never saw to press, they assess the different
perspectivisms at work in Nietzsche's views with regard to truth,
logic, causality, knowledge, and consciousness, as well as to his
conception of the self. They also examine Nietzsche's perspectivist
ontology of power and the attendant claims that substances and
subjects are illusory while forces and alliances of power
constitute the only reality.
Hales and Welshon present Nietzsche's treatment of perspectivism
as more complex and more fruitful than the common view of it as a
doctrine that truth is not objective. Neither a metaphor nor a
methodology, perspectivism emerges as a protean concept akin to a
unifying theme; an alternative to the absolutism that recurs in
science, philosophy, and religion; and a technique for revealing
the unimagined possibilities open to every individual.
