Philosophy; philos sophia; lover of wisdom; reveals itself as the fear of fallacy. And what is fear of error but the primordial dread of chaos; of the unknown. Since the genesis of mankind; he has always sought to make the unintelligible intelligible. To raise Thought above all else and demand of the world it conform to it. For man understanding comes only through seeing himself in the world: why else this love of Gods and Spirits? Why else this constant projecting of meaning towards a world that seems devoid of it? What need for meaning would a world already pregnated with one have? Does not the very fact that meaning needs to be made disprove them? For man the real always demands realisation. Truth demands articulation
May this not be the greatest fallacy and narcissism of man? Or is it the dawn of his greatest hour? For here the truth of man reveals itself. That he lacks truth. And in the meaninglessness the meaningful appears. He has been made by the world, but comes to make the world. He cannot make Truth, but he can surely live it.
