Abstract

The platonic tradition understood the relation between science and morals as an essential relation between the Truth itself and the Well itself. In a text from his first period of production, On Truth and Lies in a Non-Moral Sense, Nietzsche criticizes this tradition in two movements: at first, he denies the existence of a necessary link between Truth and Well because he conceives a tragic notion of truth which is beyond Good and Evil; then he radicalizes his critique through a genealogy of Truth. Therefore I essay to propose a politics of truth which is not properly in Nietzsche but which goes forth in his sense.
