Impossible to separate knowledge from activity, knowledge is action, domination of nature and even human nature, utilitarian dynamism even in its most disinterested aspects, those furthest from practical activity. In this sense Nietzsche’s proposition that what is true is what serves life is profoundly correct: the search for truth is a combat for life; the truth which is never settled once and for all, being forever in the process of becoming, is a conquest ceaselessly recommenced through a more useful, more stimulating approximation to an ideal truth that is perhaps inaccessible.
