Friedrich Nietzsche on Objects (Material Things) - Dictionary of Arguments
Danto III 93 Object/Nietzsche/Danto: for Nietzsche, no difference determined by us - not even the simplest distinction between two objects - has even the slightest basis in reality, because the concept of representationalism is in itself a fiction. >Reality/Nietzsche, >World/Thinking/Nietzsche, >Consciousness/Nietzsche. Nietzsche always gives his answer in terms of psychology; and indeed, for him, every problem was reduced to a psychological problem. >Psychologism. Danto III 264 Object/thing/Nietzsche/Danto: Nietzsche does not think in terms of things, but of dynamic quanta. In his bequest(1) Nietzsche makes the argument that an object is merely the sum of 'his' effects, so that as soon as we exclude the effects, in order to separate the thing from what it 'really' is, we have nothing left. Danto: There is therefore no thing, there are only a number of effects, and therefore the 'thing in itself' is an empty word. >Effect/Nietzsche, >Cause/Nietzsche, >Experience/Nietzsche. 1. F. Nietzsche, Nachlass, Berlin 1999, S. 502_____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
