The Will to Truth and Later Nietzsche's Critique of Science
Science serves as the herald of truth in our era,whereas Nietzsche,in his later works,discerned within it unexamined presuppositions and a profound crisis of nihilism.Following the deconstruction of metaphysical ideals,science either descends into trivial pursuits devoid of meanings or finds inspirations in the will to truth.However,the will to truth has already presupposed a view which implicates a dualistic structure of metaphysics and presents itself as an ascetic logic sacrificing life for truth.Consequently,science,inspired by the will to truth,appears to deconstruct the dogmas of ascetic ideals on the one hand,but on the other hand emerges paradoxically as the most covert and pristine embodiment of these ideals.Nietzsche's later critique of the will to truth leads to a reassessment of illusions and the birth of artistic philosophical contemplation,the latter of which marks a deviation from conventional notions of aesthetics as well as the early Nietzschean"artist metaphysics."Confronted with the contemporary nihilistic impasse,Nietzsche's notion of the Free Spirit necessitates the purification of the will to truth,advocates substituting scientific philosophies with an artistic one,and in this way prompts a redefinition of the relationship between science and philosophy.
