This sounds like part of Nietzche’s message in Beyond Good and Evil. He believed that perspectives really stem from unconscious desires, and that philosophers…or anybody…create systems that answer to their unconscious needs, and then invent reasons after the fact which justify the “truth” they think they have discovered. People don’t discover truth; they invent new interpretations of if. Truth claims should be seen for what they are…perspectives that have been justified.
