Hey All,

If you’re interested in Speculative Realism and/or hyperchaos, Quentin Meillassoux’s After Finitude is the book to begin with:

He speaks on contemporary ontology, the imagination and music (!) in this interview:

“There are no miracles for Leibniz, because every miracle is just a law more complicated than the one we already know. And in the same way…(with hyperchaos) there is never disorder, because disorder is just an order other than the one you expect.” (Meillassoux, 2)

“Oh sky above me, you pure and lofty sky! This is your purity is to me, that there is no eternal spider and spider web of reason: that you are my dance floor for divine dice throws and dice players.” (Z, 132)

Chaos and the dicethrow is the presence of the “divine” in Zarathustra. The overman embraces chaos; it’s what produces difference in eternal return. It’s the release of the destructive -> creative force necessary for affirmative becoming.

I’ll be on campus before and after class today to help with projects.

Looking forward 🙂
