Truth--Nietzsche 尼采 (2)

尼采的这段话,说的是何谓“真理”。

A mobile army of metaphors, metonymies, anthropomorphisms: in short a sum of human relations which became poetically and rhetorically intensified, metamorphosed, adorned, and after long usage seem to a nation fixed, canonic and binding; truths are illusions of which one has forgotten that they are illusions. (Nietzsche, “On Truth and Falsity in Their Ultramoral Sense” (1873), in The Complete Works of Nietzsche, 2:180

一支由比喻、借喻、和拟人化修辞所组成的流动大军:简而言之,是经由修辞和艺术手法所强化处理、变形和修饰的人类关系总和。它们经过长时间的使用,俨然成为环环相扣的神圣王国。真理是让人忘记它们是虚幻的虚幻。
