In Gombrowicz’s novel Cosmos we can find a idea of reality, which is very similar to Nietzsche’s metaphysical postulates. In this article I’d like to show that points in the views both of authors, which are compatible. Both of them characterize truth of existence by chaos and becoming. Polish writer assumes that man has a ground in the chaos, but can’t live without the ordering categories. Nietzsche also claims that we stay in world of pretence, because we haven’t the instruments to experience the “will of power” reality. It is a reason why people are looking for the way a chaos forming. They have found the constancy in the language and in the logic, which creates the world of pretence. In Gombrowicz’s novel human’s world is created by form. People have to live in themselves reality, because chaos is a way to madness.
