It is no more than a moral prejudice that truth is worth more than semblance; it is even the worst proved assumption there is in the world.
Es ist nicht mehr als ein moralisches Vorurtheil, dass Wahrheit mehr werth ist als Schein; es ist sogar die schlechtest bewiesene Annahme, die es in der Welt giebt.
It is no more than a moral prejudice that truth is worth more than semblance; it is even the worst proved assumption there is in the world.
The first sentence of the passage. »Schein« is "semblance", as the GD passages render it. The sentence is about the worth of truth over semblance and the proof of the assumption, not about whether there is a true world; the fourth proposition of »Die ›Vernunft‹ in der Philosophie« 6 (c-nietzsche-dividing-world-true-and-apparent-is-decadence) diagnoses the division of the world, and this sentence diagnoses a valuation, that truth is worth more than semblance, which the map sets beside the division and does not identify with it; no passage joins the two. No Kant or Schopenhauer statement in the map says that truth is worth more than semblance, so no attack link is set.
