RODRIGUEZ GONZALEZ, Mariano. The Nietzschean (Counter)-Belief: Perspectivism against Fanaticism from Book V of The Gay Science. Diánoia [online]. 2017, vol.62, n.78, pp.147-170. ISSN 0185-2450.

Based on The Gay Science’s last book, in this paper I proceed, first, to set the features of the new Nietzschean understanding of belief as an active determining opposed to the claim of truth traditionally understood as correction or adjustment of representation. That is to say, belief understood, in an important even though paradoxical sense, as counterbelief. Second, I aim to characterize although roughly what could be considered as the specifically Nietzschean belief, constitutive of his philosophical production’s core meaning. We should call that "belief" the "Dionysian faith", in the understanding that fixing and defining it would be strictly speaking rather impossible, since it does not exclude anything, not even its opposites.
