Friedrich Nietzsche on Common Sense - Dictionary of Arguments
Danto III 95 Common Sense/Nietzsche/Danto: for Nietzsche, the common sense itself is an interpretation and nothing that is opposed to interpretations. The common sense is metaphysics that has become everyday for him, (...) a fantasy of error and misbelief, (...) without the slightest concordance with reality. >Metaphysics/Nietzsche. But: Danto III 96 NietzscheVsParmenides/NietzscheVsPlato/Danto: Truth is the kind of error without which a certain kind of living being could not live.(1) In the interests of life, we are forced to approve the common sense as set of beliefs and to reject all that is at odds with it. >Truth/Nietzsche, >Reality/Parmenides, >Truth/Plato. 1.
