Chaos of Ideas

The name of this blog is taken from Nietzsche's Will to Power. "Originally a chaos of ideas. The ideas that were consistent with one another remained, the greater number perished -- and are perishing." Nietzsche was describing the origin of logic, the jostling among ideas for supremacy. In his view the idea of logic survived, not because it was the closest to the truth, but because it was the most amenable to the drive for power. In fact, because it is bound to the idea that things are equal, it rests on a "fundamental falsification." This struggle for survival among ideas currently characterises this blog. I imagine that what will be written here initially will have the appearance of chaos, a chaos of ideas, but over time some consistency will emerge and then the specific nature of this blog will become known -- to me the writer as well as the reader.
