According to Nietzsche, reason is what distorts our perceptions of the world, because reason can falsify the evidence of our senses. The only real world is the world which is apparent to our senses. To divide the world into a real world and an apparent world is an act of decadence, because it is to deny that what is apparent to our senses is real. The real world is in a state of becoming. An ideal world of unchanging being is only a state of non-being, or nothingness.
Reason attempts to establish unity, as well as identity, duration, cause, materiality, and being.
Reality, however, is a state of transformation, change, disunity, plurality, and becoming. According to Nietzsche, we are not responsible for the fact that we exist. Nietzsche argues that we are not created by any divine will, nor for any divine purpose. If we were created by God, then we would be accountable to God for the fact that we exist. If we were accountable to God, then God would be an objection or contradiction to our existence.
