Nietzsche_And_Connotation

Nietzsche And Connotation I think that Nietzsche is right in his generalization. His idea that everything has a connotation is fairly valid. Something cannot be just that, something. It must go beyond itself. It must have some relation to something else. To elaborate on this point, I’ll tell you about an experiment I conducted. I sat down my mother down and did a word association exercise with her. The results supported Nietzsche’s argument. I used three simple words: music, English, and innocent. She replied with melody, literature, and pure, respectively. The latter is especially interesting. If innocence is associated with purity by one person, it’s bound to be considered by another. Doubtful as it is, let’s believe that Nietzsche made this correlation. He, therefore, could be speculating on, for lack of a better phrase, “original sin” of the senses. All information, or sense data, is affected by our past experiences. Our eyes are giving us raw information but our mind always slips something in during the translation to understandable thought. This addition in the translation skews the facts. For example if someone is eating squirrel, their brain sends nietzsche, think, something, sense, values, point, minds, mind, idea, eye, experience, else, data, brain, argument, valid, try, translation, theory, table, squirrel, someone, should, senses, right, relative, perception, original, one, nietzsche’s, must, mean, innocent, information, future
