The Truth And The Search For The Truth

The truth and the search for the truth

Introduction

Yalom introduces us to an imaginary world, where our two protagonists Nietzsche and Breuer immerse us in several extraordinary and sometimes inexplicable situations, resulting in a certain way to open the interpretation by the reader, the reading set in 1882 tells us about severalThemes that these two protagonists pass in their lives, and he as a woman Lou Salomé made possible his encounter where they shared stories of their lives with a single end, healing and finding meaning in a world of the meaningless sense of life. Although Breuer and Nietzche did not really know each other, at first glance or at least as the book portrays, their relationship would have been unique and unique.

Within the work there are several themes to deal with, but the theme that most caught my attention was the truth according to Nietzche, but the truth is a very debatable theme, since there are several philosophers who opinion different from Nitetzche, which, which, whichWe must take into account are the depth of their words and in a certain way, according to me, the direction and assertiveness that this gives a topic that not many want to deal with

Developing

The theme throughout the essay will be the truth, which is personally an issue that many speak but that few execute it for their incredible power and impact that it has on people when finding the truth, a raw truth andTransparent that not many support, so Nitzche gives us a great phrase regarding what is previously written, the statement is the following “knows what is the true question for a thinker? The real question is: “How much can I tolerate?".

(Yalom, 2011, P.118). This theme is highlighted throughout Yalom’s work and in the conversations between Breuer and Nitzche based on the situations of each of them. Within Nietzche’s words you can see how ruthless and brutal.

The first argument is the search for truth, as man seeks the truth his past and present experiences, the desire to search for truth can be very thorough but at the same time enriching, more man is never prepared to face the truth thatThis one finds, there are moments where the truth depends on our experiences and how we simply face it, an example of this could be a newly diagnosed person with terminal cancer, this person can refuse the truth that is presented to him by the atrocious thatIt can become, an appointment that can corroborate my previous argument would be a few words of Nietzche said to Breuer in the text, these words are “the paradox, its paradox, is that you dedicate yourself to the search for truth, but cannotsupport the contemplation of what he discovers.”(Yalom, 2011, P.281).

The second argument is that we cannot live without knowing the truth, we need it immensely almost as we need to satisfy some physiological need, since we need it to subsist, more Nietzche also mentions that everything is an illusion, including the truth, but this is what is the one that is whatWe simply need to continue advance, step by step, until we reach the acceptance of this truth and the destiny that has been written for you, to settle my previous argument I can a phrase said by Nietzche, he affirms that “to the men of science weWe need to learn that the truth is also an illusion, although an illusion without which we cannot survive ".(Yalom, 2011, P.339).

The third argument is supported by a phrase also said by Nietzche that begins like this, "a life without truth is death in life" (Yalom, 2011, p.276). Seeing this phrase, he gave me chills for how raw and true it is, yes the man prolongs, dodges or ignores the truth will be in a world of uncertainty and anguish, likewise it is in the search for truth must beReady, prepared to accept and tolerate the truth that is presented to it, we really need it always in any aspect of our life.

On the other hand, there are authors who think about Nietzche, giving a different point of view and providing responsibility to a supreme being as God is for Christianity and spiritualism, within the article that I have used to be able to carry out the counter -argument of the essayYou can see the religious position that is obtained by the Augustinian representation, according to Colombani attending to the words of St. Augustine "there is a clear presence of God as a guarantor of access to the truth and the constitution of a certain type of subject"(Colombani, 2007, P.1). Having the notion that there is a superior being, we give all the decisions to him without acquiring our own responsibility for our actions, failures, achievements, since we give responsibility to a being that we do not see and listen, in itself we give the reins ofour life.

conclusion

Truth, a word that many shudders just thinking about the word and for what it entails looking for and knowing about it depending on the situation, each man has the responsibility of seeking his own truth and accepting it, however we must be prepared byThe raw and insufferable that this can become, we must have the responsibility of the truth in our lives, since we look for it because we need it as we need to breathe. When we put the truth in the hands of higher beings, reduce the responsibility and possibility of facing the reality we are living and of being autonomous in our actions, the acceptance of truth and destiny is essential for man to have a notion of what awaits himwithin his life
