More than that, logic in itself, the whole method of the reasoning faculty, is without any ref- 180 THE WILL TO FREEDOM erence to reality. It is merely the outcome of the instinct to control. The object of science is to enslave na- ture. Truth is merely that form of il- lusion which enables one best to live. Logic, the cutting of the world into httle bits, and treating it as machinery, is not even an elementary guide to reality. Even its ultimate principle, the necessity of in- ference, given c...ertain premises, is dictated only by the will to power; e. G. , it is fatigue, not love of knowledge, that drives us to seek unity — and reason is the principle of unity. Let me cite what Nietzsche says: "Logic is the attempt on our part'^to understand the actual world according to a scheme of Being devised by our- selves; or, more exactly, it is our at- tempt at making the actual world more calculable and more susceptible to for- mulation, for our own purposes. . . . "In order to be able to think and to draw conclusions, it is necessary to NIETZSCHE'S ORIGINALITY 181 acknowledge that which exists: logic only deals with formulse for things which are constant.
