Friedrich Nietzsche on Correspondence Theory - Dictionary of Arguments
Danto III 93 Correspondence theory/NietzscheVsCorrespondence Theory/Nietzsche/Danto: Nietzsche rejects correspondence theory and realism. Danto III 94 For Nietzsche, life and experience are not a finished painting, not a fixed quantity, but have gradually become and are still being developed.(1) >Life/Nietzsche, >World/Nietzsche, >World/thinking/Nietzsche. Danto III 235 Correspondence theory/truth/Nietzsche/Danto: Nietzsche had come to the conclusion that nothing has to correspond with a statement for it to be true. Then he turned this 'not' into a metaphysical principle by saying that our propositions do not correspond to anything, so that all of them - since they supposedly say something - are wrong.(2) Cf. >Nonexistence, >Truth value, >Truth value gap. 1.
