Full Idea
Wanting to know things as they are - that alone is the good inclination: not seeing ..with other eyes; that would be merely a change of place of egoistic seeing. …Practise at seeing with other eyes, and without human relationships, hence objectively!
Gist of Idea
Seeing with other eyes is more egoism, but exploring other perspectives leads to objectivity
Source
Friedrich Nietzsche (Unpublished Notebooks 1881-82 [1882], 11[013])
A Reaction
That Nietzsche thinks we should try to see things objectively will come as a bit of a shock to those who have him catalogued among the relativists. It's clear from other writings that he thinks (rightly) that perfect objectivity is unattainable.
