“Logic, too, also rests on assumptions that do not correspond to anything in the real world, e.g., on the assumption that there areequal things, that the same thing is identical at different points in time: but this science arose as a result of the opposite belief (that such things actually exist in the real world). And it is the same with mathematics, which would certainly never have arisen if it had been understood from the beginning that there is no such thing in nature as a perfectly straight line, a true circle, and absolute measure.” IfsWorldDifferentRealBeliefLinesResultsUnderstoodLogicOppositesAbsolutesMathematicsEqualityCirclesAssumptionReal WorldIdenticalStraight Lines Author:Friedrich Nietzsche
“Christianity has done its utmost to close the circle and declared even doubt to be sin. One is supposed to be cast into belief without reason, by a miracle, and from then on to swim in it as in the brightest and least ambiguous of elements: even a glance towards land, even the thought that one perhaps exists for something else as well as swimming, even the slightest impulse of our amphibious nature” WellsReasonDoneBeliefSinChristianityDoubtLandElementsMiracleCastsCirclesSupposed To BeImpulseSwimSwimmingGlancesAmbiguousPurpose And Meaning Book:Nietzsche: Daybreak: Thoughts on the Prejudices of Morality Source: Nietzsche: Daybreak: Thoughts on the Prejudices of Morality
