Will to Truth#
Summary#
The Will to Truth is the fundamental drive that compels philosophers to seek truth, yet Nietzsche questions its value and origin. He asks why we assume truth is more valuable than untruth, uncertainty, or even ignorance, suggesting that this unexamined preference may itself originate from the will to deception. In its extreme form, the Will to Truth becomes a kind of nihilism, preferring a handful of certainty over beautiful possibilities, reflecting a despairing soul that would rather trust in a sure nothing than an uncertain something.
