Oh and I think Nietzsche believes that one has their own personal truths, and that the philosopher writes and embellishes upon those personal truths and that act is a form of "Will to Power", as it is trying to manifest ones own world-views onto the world.
That’s exactly the problem I have with Nietzsche; I don’t think it’s legitimate to go around imposing your own meaning on things simply because you can. I agree with Heidegger, who said, “man is not the lord of beings. Man is the shepherd of Being.” It’s not our job, nor is it our absolute right, to run around interpreting the world in any way we like. As Heidegger says, Being is presented to us, and we have to respect the fact that Being is prior to us.
