Popis: Concepts in which Friedrich Nietzsche declares his ideas about person’s proper attitude to chaos are singled out and systematized. It is shown that Friedrich Nietzsche interprets chaos not as a goal, but as a condition of person’s fulfilling his goals. In this aspect F. Nietzsche’s doctrine is close to Friedrich Schlegel’s chaos interpretation. The specificity of Friedrich Nietzsche’s stance is that he firmly sets a person a task of chaos transfiguration by his own attempts. It is argued that F. Nietzsche criticizes the idea of transcendent chaos ordering. This is its difference from chaos ordering ideas offered by such philosophers as Plato and St. Augustine. It is shown that Friedrich Nietzsche nevertheless isn’t against any ordering idea. F. Nietzsche’s belief concerning the necessity of chaos ordering is exemplified with German philosopher’s doctrine about the Apollonian and Dionysian. It is reasoned that F. Nietzsche encourages a person to order chaos by experiencing his own true needs.
