all and would know nothing of motion if we didn't, in a crude way, believewe saw something at rest' alongside things in motion. Just as little wouldwe speak of cause and effect, and without the erroneous conception ofthe empty space' we would never have arrived at the conception of spaceitself. The principle of identity has as its background the appearance' thatthings are the same. A world of becoming could not, in the strict sense,be grasped', be known' only inasmuch as the grasping' and knowing'intellect nds an already created, crude world, cobbled together out ofdeceptions but having become solid, inasmuch as this kind of illusion has

preserved life only to that extent is there such a thing as knowledge':i.e. , a measuring of earlier and more recent errors against one another

Philosophy in the only way I still allow it to stand, as the most general form

of history, as an attempt somehow to describe Heraclitean53 becoming andto abbreviate it into signs (so to speak, to translate and mummify it into a

kind of illusory beng4)

It is unfair to Descartes to call his appeal to God's credibility frivolous.Indeed, only ifwe assume a God who is morally our like can truth' and thesearch for truth be at all something meaningful and promising of success.This God left aside, the question is permitted whether being deceived isnot one of the conditions of life.

The triumphant concept offorce', with which our physicists have created

God and the world, needs supplementing: it must be ascribed an innerworld which I call will to power', i.e, an insatiable craving to manifestpower; or to employ, exercise power, as a creative drive, etc The physicistscannot eliminate action at a distance' from their principles, nor a force ofrepulsion (or attraction). There is no help for it: one must understand allmotion, all appearances' , all laws' as mere symptoms of inner events, and

use the human analogy consistently to the end n the case of an animal, al lits drives can be traced back to the will to power likewise all the functionsof organic life to this one source.

Aong the guiding thread of the body -Supposing that the sou' was an attractive and mysterious idea which

philosophers, rightly, gave up only with reluctance perhaps what theyrenow learning to exchange for it is even more attractive, even more mysterious. The human body, in which the whole most distant and most recentpast of all organic becoming regains life and corporeality, through which,over which, beyond which a tremendous, inaudible river seems to owthe body is a more astonishing idea than the old soul .

n every era people have believed better in the body as our most certainbeing, in short as our ego, than in the mind (or the soul -or the subject, asthe language of schoolmen now prefers to term it). t has never occurred toanyone to think of his stomach as an alien stomach, perhaps a divine one;

but as for regarding his thoughts as inspired, his valuations as promptedby a God, his instincts as mysterious activity for this tendency and tasteof man there are testimonies from all the ages of mankind. ven today,particularly among artists, one often enough nds a kind of wonder anddeferential unhooking of judgement when the question arises of how they

succeeded in making the best throw and from what world the creativethought came to them When they ask themselves this kind of thing,theres something of innocence and childlike bashfulness about them;they hardly dare to say That came from me, it was my hand that cast

the die. - Conversely, even those philosophers and religious men whoselogic and piety gave them the most pressing grounds to view their bodilyside as a deception, and a deception overcome and put away even theycouldnt avoid acknowledging the stupid reality that the body has not ed.On this matter we nd the strangest testimonies, partly in Paul, partly inVedanta5 philosophy

But in the end what does strength of belief signify! It coud still b avery stupid beief - Here one must reect:

And in the end if beief in the body is only the result of an inferen

supposing it were a false inference as the ideaists caim: is not the crebiity of the mind itsef cast into doubt by its being the cause of sfalse inferences? Supposing multipicity and space and time and mo(and whatever ese may be the presuppositions of a belief in corporeai� were errors what mistrust of the mind would be aroused by the thing tinduced us to reach such suppositions! nough: for the time being bein the body is still a stronger belief than beief in the mind and anowho wants to undermine it wi most thoroughy be undermining beli

in this way, I gave myself up dissolutely to my pedagogic drive, for I wasoverjoyed to have someone who could bear to listen to me However, itwas just then that Ariadne6 - for this all took place during my rst stay onNaxos could actually bear it no more: But, sir, she said, Youre talking

pigswill German! - German I answered untroubled, Simply German!Leave aside the pigswill, my goddess! You underestimate the difculty ofsaying subtle things in German! Subtle things! cried Ariadne, horried, But that was just positivism! Philosophy of the snout! Conceptualmuck and mishmash from a hundred philosophies! Whatever next! allthe while toying impatiently with the famous thread that once guided herTheseus through the labyrinth. - Thus it came to light that Ariadne wastwo thousand years behindhand in her philosophical training.

Inexorable, hesitating, terrible as fate, the great task and question is approaching: how shall the earth as a whole be governed? Andfor what shallman as a whole - no longer just one people, one race be raised andbred?

The legislative moralities are the main means of fashioning out of men

whatever a creative and profound will desires, assuming that such an

artistic will of the highest rank holds power and can assert its creativewill over long periods of time, in the shape oflaws, religions and customs.Such men of great creativity, the really great men in my understanding,will be sought in vain today and probably for a long time to come: they

are mssng; until, after much disappointment, one nally has to begin tounderstand why it is that theyre missing and that nothing now presents,or will present for a long time to come, a more hostile obstacle to theiremergence and development than what in Europe is nowadays straight
