Full Idea
I think today we are at least far removed from the ridiculous immodesty of decreeing from our corner that one is permitted to have perspectives only from this corner.
Gist of Idea
It would be absurd to say we are only permitted our own single perspective
Source
Friedrich Nietzsche (The Gay (Joyful) Science [1882], §374)
A Reaction
He goes on to speculate about the possibility of infinite perspectives, most of them unknowable to us. But Nietzsche was not a simple relativism. The obvious concept needed to accompany a many-perspectives view is consensus.
