A Brief Note On Truth And Lie And American Anthropological...

Words are very deceptive and misleading. Often times, words originally have one central meaning, but in some cases, words may have deeper meanings. Many times, a words deeper meaning is invisible, and requires more thought and understanding to uncover. Friedrich Nietzsche’s claims are illustrated by the word â€Å"race†. The word â€Å"race† ties in with many questions and statements made by Nietzsche concerning truth. I believe that â€Å"race† is made too complex by humanity, and it needs to be simplified. It has many different meanings, therefore, it is a term that is constantly misunderstood. In the essays â€Å"On truth and lie† and â€Å"American Anthropological Association Statement on ‘race’†, there are various connections and illustrations made using truth, knowledge, concepts, and words. Words are given many different meanings. Throughout the course of time, the word â€Å"race† has had one meaning. â€Å"Raceâ €  initially meant a division of people, often with their own cultures and ideas, as well as different appearances. However, â€Å"race† has become a word that has been used to create separation between people. According to Nietzsche â€Å"every word immediately becomes a concept, inasmuch as it is not intended to serve as a reminder of the unique and wholly individualized original experience to which it owes its birth† (Nietzsche par.8). This quote acknowledges the fact that words are given different meanings. He simply says that words have one meaning, but it is changed overtime.
