Nietzsche's Naturalist Deconstruction of Truth: A World Fragmented in Late Nineteenth-Century Epistemology offers a new interpretation of Nietzsche's discussions of truth and knowledge, covering the period from his early essay "On Truth and Lies in an Extra-Moral Sense" to his late notebooks. It places these discussions in the context of the neo-Kantian, Naturalist, Positivist, and Pragmatic schools influential in Nietzsche's late nineteenth-century Europe. Peter Bornedal argues for a view of Nietzsche's epistemological thinking as elaborations of this paradigm: proposing ideas that are anti-metaphysical and anti-theological in their polemic orientation, and in general promoting new scientific naturalist ideals in the discussions of knowledge. Bornedal suggests that the rational pursuit of these new ideals to the unencumbered mind logically leads to Nihilism in its most profound epistemological sense. Nietzsche's "critique of metaphysics" is thus seen as springing from sources different from and sometimes in patent opposition to more recent postmodern and deconstructionist "critiques of metaphysics." This book contextualizes Nietzsche in relation to a number of philosophical peers and juxtaposes him to contemporary thinkers in a way that resolves some of the difficulties that have plagued recent Nietzsche scholarship.
