We do not consider the falsity of a judgment as itself an objection to a judg- ment; this is perhaps where our newlanguage will sound most foreign.The question is how far the judgment promotes and preserves life, how well it preserves, and perhaps even cultivates, the type. And we are fundamen- tally inclined to c laim that the falsest judgments (which include synthetic judgments a priori) are the most indispensable to us, and that without ac- cepting the fictio ns of logic, without measuring reality against the wholly invented world of the unconditioned and self-identical, without a constant falsification of the world through numbers, people could not live – that a renunciation of false judgments would be a renunciatio n of life, a negation of life.
