According to Nietzsche, the assumption of identity underlying logic is :

  • A.culturally fulfilled
  • B.rationally fulfilled
  • C.spiritually fulfilled
  • D.fictitiously fulfilled

Answer: D

For Nietzsche the assumption of identity underlying logic is fictitiously fulfilled.

Nietzsche argues that logic rests on the assumption that there are identical cases and self-identical things, which reality, a world of becoming, does not supply. The law of identity is therefore a useful fiction: a simplification that living beings impose on the flux so that they can calculate and survive. Logic holds only of a world we have first falsified to fit it.

So the assumption is not rationally, culturally or spiritually fulfilled in Nietzsche's account; it is satisfied only by a fiction we create.
