ABSTRACT
The inner adaptation found its fulfillment in the hypotheses and theories regarding processes in nature and society encountered by man in his struggle for outer adaptation. A completely different direction was taken by the development of Romanticism, which replaced the divine inner adaptation by an attitude discovering depth and meaning in the external world of phenomena. Nietzsche's philosophy can be regarded as the most perfect spiritual expression of the function of the noetic system as to the mastery of the picture phase of communication. An inner force as creative basis of the world does not exist in Nietzsche's philosophy. Rational classification, understanding and explaining of the cosmos and science, remain the leading ideas of the 19th and 20th centuries. An immense amount of knowledge in physics and chemistry is gained and especially about the material and energetic aspects of reality.
