35. Chaos

As you can see from my "Philosophy of Freedom" published several years ago, I agree with Mongré to the extent that I, too, restrict all observation of the world to the world of experience given to us, as I, too, reject any thinking about another (transcendent) world. But for me, our world is also the only one we are entitled to talk about. Paul Mongré rejects metaphysics because its content is chaos; I reject it because nothing leads out of our world and one does not talk about what there is no reason to talk about. But I also do not arrive at nihilism because I do not say to myself: since none of the conceivable worlds has anything ahead of another, ours must not exist either, and can therefore stand out from the chaos of nothing as an appearance and dream image, but I say to myself: because there is none conceivable to us apart from ours, ours is necessary, must be as it is through itself, not through selection from an infinite number of worlds.
