Philosophy has traditionally been taken as a condition for a good life. Philosophy has been understood as knowledge of truth since Greek though and it's been insolvably linked to a good existence. Thus, knowledge of truth has been incorporated as a condition of human life appearing as a natural tendency of man. However, another kind of knowledge, which restructures existence conditions by rebuilding their apparently natural relation to truth, may exist. Such thought is built inside of Nietzsche's philosophy; a thought of laugh that dissolves the natural connection between knowledge and truth and, by the same time, builds new conditions of existence which aims at life's affirmation. The present text attempts to show why the incorporation of truth is a problem for Nietzsche and how useful is to life settling this problem.
