| Description | It is no coincidence that the issue of language and its impact on the psychological development of the human mind, which Nietzsche already addressed in the programmatic essay On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense (1873), got space in his first great work Human, All Too Human (1878, 1879). Intellectual kinship of the two texts are based on the adoption of semiotics German linguist and philosopher, Humboldt indirect pupil Gustav Gerber, thanks to his work Die Sprache als Kunst (1871) Nietzsche was able to recognize the important role played by language in the constitution of personal experience, which consequently has can no longer be understood as a faithful copy of the surrounding reality. This strategy Nietzsche opposes all attempts to restrict the classical richness of language and at the same time opens the door wide open to any possibilities of intensifying the perception of speech. |
