Three Perspectives on Philosophy in Nietzsche’s Beyond Good and Evil 5-7

Original language description

This article presents a close reading of aphorisms 5, 6, and 7 as an interconnected sequence in Nietzsche’s Beyond Good and Evil. I argue that taken together these aphorisms are a concise illustration of Nietzsche’s perspectival method, whereby he approaches the same phenomenon from a variety of angles in order to illuminate it more fully: “The more eyes, different eyes, we can use to observe one thing, the more complete will our ‘concept’ of this thing, our ‘objectivity’ be.” I argue that these aphorisms concern how the philosopher appears from the outside, to nonphilosophers (5), how he appears to himself (6), and, finally, how he appears to other philosophers on the stage of world history (7). There is an inner logic to this sequence: one always begins from the first perspective, when one first begins to study the history of philosophy, then (perhaps) one becomes a philosopher oneself and understands philosophy “from the inside,” after which one may develop a politics of friendship (or enmity) with other philosophers (past or present), while bearing in mind, like an actor in a play, how this politics will appear to an outside audience and the effect it may have on them. These aphorisms, then, represent three stages in the philosophical life, while addressing the related themes of how the philosopher conducts himself in relation to nonphilosophers (5), the distinctive self-relation at the heart of the philosophical way of life (6), and the philosopher’s way of relating to kindred spirits (7).
