Maudemarie Clark, Nietzsche on Truth and Philosophy, Cambridge University Press, 1991.

Excerpt:

Nietzsche’s philosophy has recently generated a significant amount of interest and excitement, much of it centered around his position on truth. Considerable hope exists, and much conviction, that Nietzsche has something important to say about truth. This study begins with the problem that confronts anyone with such hopes, namely, that Nietzsche’s claim about truth seem hopelessly confused and contradictory. This chapter sets out the problem and gives an overview of the four most influential ways in which those sympathetic to Nietzsche have tried to solve it. After explaining why these solutions seem unnsatisfactory, it sketches a solution to the problem that will be defended in the remainder of this book. This solution stresses the development in Nietzsche’s position. It will be argued that Nietzsche’s position was contradictory in its early and middle formulation, but that he progressed toward and finally arrived at a coherent and defensible position in the works of his final two years.
