Answers to questions on Nietzsche

How did Nietzsche understand the concept of truth?
Nietzsche's views on the concept of truth were not fully static in his lifetime. The interesting part about that is that his concept of truth is also not static. As he describes it in his 1873 essay 'On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense':
"Truth is a movable host of metaphors, metonymies, and anthropomorphisms: in short, a sum of human relations which have been poetically and rhetorically intensified, transferred, and embellished, and which, after long usage, seem to a people to be fixed, canonical, and binding".
He is thus basically saying that truth is created by mankind through communication, meaning there is not one objective truth, and truth will differ between different communities. Nietzsche is basically saying that truth for me, as a Dutch person, is different than for my Colombian classmates.

What literary figures are exposed in the video that help grasp the concept of truth? Please give out examples.
The literary figures discussed in the video are the same ones which Nietzsche mentions in his quote above: metaphors, metonymies and antropomorphisms.
A metaphor is when a word or phrase is applied to a situation where it is not literally applicable. An example of this is saying 'My car is an absolute tank'. Of course the car in question is not literally a tank but rather just a big, heavy car.
A metonymy is when one uses a part or attribute of something to refer to that thing. For example, calling a bussinessman a 'suit' would be using a metonymy.
An antropomorphism is making an object appear and behave in a human manner. An example is Animal Farm by George Orwell.

Why is there a need for lying?
Nietzsche claims lying is done out of self-preservation. He argues society sometimes does not want to hear the exact truth.

What is truth made of?
Truth is developed over centuries and is mainly made of language. However, it can also develop quite quickly. Dr. Sadler gives the example of the word mouse, which in the space of one generation went from just being a word for an animal to also describing a computer mouse.

How do language and art play around the concept of truth?
Not so much as playing around it, language and art create the concept of truth according to Nietzsche. Through language truth is created, which is also why it differs between different language regions.

What is Ethics?

Ethics to me are the unwritten, moral rules that govern how we interact with each other. These unwritten rules are what give us the feeling of what is 'right' and what is 'wrong'. Laws are thus not ethics, altough they could be based on ethics. Some 'ethical' qualities are altruism, honesty and respect.

An example of a situation in which ethics are lacking is the pursuit of the Rohingya in Myanmar, or a person taking credit for someone else's work.

How did Nietzsche understand the concept of Truth?

For Nietzsche, the very notion of an overarching ultimate truth is regarded as symptomatic of a kind of philosopher's malfeasance.

In that fact, truth becomes in a collective convention, one that is the product of uncertain beings who occupy only a temporary place in the vastness of the cosmos.


What literary figures are exposed in the video that help to grasp the concept of truth? Please give out examples.

To make an understandable explanation of what ethics is, the author of the video exposes these literary figures:

Metaphor


A metaphor is a word or phrase used to describe something as if it was something else. Instead, a metaphor is simply a statement where you are saying that one thing is another.

As an example: Franklin has a heart of gold!, Mary’s voice is music to my ears, He’s a walking encyclopedia, You are my sunshine, The world’s a stage, etc

Metonym


A metonymy is a literary figure in which one representative term stands in for something else. For example, "the Crown" is a metonym for monarchy rule. A king wears a crown (which is where this metonymy originated) but "the Crown" does not just refer to the king. It refers to the whole system of government. Similarly, "the White House" is a metonym for the Executive Branch of the United States government.

Anthropomorphism


Anthropomorphism when animals or non-human characters are given human characteristics.

For example: In the Disney film, Beauty and the Beast, the clock, candlestick, and the teapot all act and behave as if they are human beings.

Why is there a need for lying?

People use lying as a shield, a camouflage, something that helps them "fit in society"; The most important reasons are: fear, pride, or to manipulate someone.

What is truth made of?

Truth is most often used to mean being in accord with reality, or fidelity to an original or standard. Truth is also sometimes defined in modern contexts as an idea of ​​"truth to self", or authenticity.

How do language and art play around the concept of truth?

"Defend a lie a lot and it will become reality", based on this premise, the truth is nothing more than what we make others believe. And what other way to convince someone else is through language and behavior.

Nietzsche does an engage of metaphor, metonymy and anthropomorphism, metaphors are one thing for another there is a kind of transference of sense like when you tell someone that is shining like a diamond, you are comparing a person with and object, that person isn't really shining, resembles to that.
Metonymy is when we relate two things that aren't the same but keeps similar nature, like when you say i drink a glass of water, what you really did was drink water and use a glass to do that. 
Anthropomorphism is when we treat things like they were human when they aren't, for example when people treat their cars like babies.

Because the truth can be seen like an impose, society treats truth like an obligation so we are following a standard, an order, so we are not telling truth because we want it just because we have to

Nietzsche´s Relativism answers

1.Nietzche understands the concept of truth as a mobile army of metaphors,metonyms and anthropomorphism that fells like something canonical that binds with the believes of a nation, becoming the truh itself as nothing more than an illusion.

2. They used metaphors,metanyms,anthropomorphism to explain how the truth belongs to them  as part of these concepts .
examples
metaphor: is raining in my eyes,meaning that somebody is dropping tears from his eyes
metonym: New York does not sleep, meaning that the people of new yok stay awake for the mayority of the night
Anthropomorphism: bugs bunny and mickey mouse whom are animals that acts like a normal human being.

3.Because the current society impose us the things that are seeing as truth as something mandatory so we come to desire or to fell the need of lying as something obligatory as a mean to something more convenient.

4.Truth is made of the habits that we as a society have come to see like something good or part of the reality basically the truth is made of illusions that have been forgotten as such thing and have become something impose as a reality.

5.Language and art are arbitrary,because each one has the problem of subjetivity ,so they can lead you to a subjetive truth.
