Friedrich Nietzsche on Certainty - Dictionary of Arguments
Danto III 138 Thinking/Certainty/Subject/NietzscheVsDescartes: Nietzsche disproves the Cartesian thought that our own mental processes are immediately transparent to us, that we know about our way of thinking. >Cartesianism, >Descartes, >Consciounsness/Nietzsche. He disproves it by setting up and "freezing" a series of interrelated thoughts: When Descartes talks about his doubts about reality being at least certainly his own doubts, he drags a lot of tacit assumptions with him. >cogito, >Skepticism. NietzscheVsDescartes: if his argumentation boils down to an "It is thought", our belief in the concept of substance is already assumed and a subject is accepted.(1) 1. F. Nietzsche Nachlass, Berlin, 1999, p. 577._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
