The need of reason is not inspired by the quest for truth but by the quest for meaning. And truth and meaning are not the same. The basic fallacy, taking precedence over all specific metaphysical fallacies, is to interpret meaning on the model of truth.

But we are not authoritative in questions of fact. Like every other kind of judgment that we make, our judgments about what seems green and what is green cannot be tested by a jury of angels: human jurors are the only ones we have.

My purpose:
to demonstrate the absolute oppressiveness of all events and the application of moral distinctions as conditioned by perspective; to demonstrate how everything praised as moral is identical in essence with everything immoral and was made possible, as in every development of morality, with immoral means and for immoral ends; how, on the other hand, everything decried as immoral is, economically considered, higher and more essential, and how a development toward a greater fullness of life necessarily also demands the advance of immorality. 'Truth' the extent to which we permit ourselves to understand this fact.

Total explicitness is impossible. The effort of formal logic to make thought entirely explicit, while an admirable and in many ways indispensable and fantastically productive effort, is ultimately doomed to failure and entails deep psychological strain because of its unreality. Thought can only be made more and more explicit, never totally so.

Whatever forces us to assume that there is an essential difference between 'true' and 'false'? Is it not sufficient to assume different levels of semblance, lighter and darker shadows and tones of semblance — different values in the painter's sense of the term?

In Schmitt’s view, all thought, which does not recognize that order is created out of disorder and that rationality is based on an 'irrational' foundation, is itself irrational.
