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.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"35.
