What we would seem to have left is the world the way it appears to us, the apparent world.
However, again according to Nietzsche, we have made that disappear as we destroyed the true world. Basically, without the ideals and categories of the true world, the world as it appears is simply chaos and incomprehensible.
But we have
done something a bit different. (This is a bit like how capitalism has avoided
its inevitable fate as prescribed by Marx.) We gave conflated the apparent with
the true.
The true is
now the apparent, but we fail to see how what appears is shaped by the ideal
and we don't inquire into it at all in any depth.
We have
simplified our ideas and as a result the world, both true and apparent. But we
are so confident and otherwise occupied we don't see the incongruences between
the two.In the end, When The true world merges with the apparent one, we have no world. We have nothing but chaos and confusion.
The inspiring quote:
"The true
world — we have abolished. What world has remained? The apparent one perhaps?
But no! With the true world we have also abolished the apparent one."
--Nietzsche
