Abstract

GAMA, Luis Eduardo. “The Total Character of the World” Outline of an Ontology of Chaos in Nietzsche. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2017, vol.66, n.165, pp.347-367. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v66n165.62303.

The notion of chaos, which has long been neglected or misinterpreted, is a constitutive element of a peculiar conception of being that the philosopher only had time to outline. The objective of this article is to elaborate on this concept in Nietzschean philosophy, guided by some of the metaphors that shed light on it (the stars, the text, and the world). This serves as the basis to set forth the main characteristics of a non-metaphysical ontology of chaos that asserts the eventful nature of reality and can thus be seen as a precursor of contemporary hermeneutic ontology.

Keywords : F. Nietzsche; event; chaos; being.
