Nietzsche, Reinforced, And Challenged By Nietzsche

Yo, I hope you are ready to learn some really cool shizniz about how we understand other shizniz by interpreting that shizniz. Over this past term, I have learned how individuals form an interpretation. Although learning about how to interpret an interpretation was an interesting experience, it also was pretty confusing; therefore, I am going to discuss what I have learned in a way that I hope will be fun to read and easy to understand. In this, you will read about concepts introduced by Nietzsche, reinforced by Gadamer, and challenged by Schott. In each of their articles highlighted key points of how to best understand a concept called â€Å"the hermeneutical claim to universality†, which can be defined as a notion of first having an interpretation of what one wishes to understand. Basically, this means if we want to understand anything we are trying to find an interpretation. Nietzsche discusses how all individuals make errors-- not grammatical errors like what is presented in this essay-- but errors in truth. Specifically, Nietzsche states that all truths are errors. The concept of all truths being errors can be better understood by recognizing the reasonable assumption that individuals are different and thus will believe different things. However, how can all beliefs be fully true if one s beliefs contradict another individual s beliefs? Nietzsche explains that an â€Å"objective truth† does not exist for the reason that individuals have different believes of what is true.

However, because there were so many who did not survive the ordeal, Frankl began to search for the answer as to why he survived while others perished. Eventually Frankl would embrace the philosophy of German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, who suggested that, â€Å"He who has a â€Å"why† to live for can bear with almost any â€Å"how†. (Boeree, George) Frankl definitely had a â€Å"why† to live.
