Description
Based on Nietzsche's epistemology, the essay discusses Chaucer's use of multiple perspective in PF, TC, and NPT as the poet's instrument for encouraging his readers to reflect on the multiplicity of their experiences.
Erzgraber likens Chaucer's transitions from multiple narrative perspectives to a single religious perspective in TC and CT to William of Ockham's separation of truth into secular, empirical truths and the one religious truth of revelation.
