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.
