Fictionalism

Nietzsche, The Gay Science, Book III, aphorism 121.

Life no Argument.

We have arranged for ourselves a world in which we can live - by the postulating of bodies, lines, surfaces, causes and effects, motion and rest, form and content: without these articles of faith no one could manage to live at present!

But for all that they are still unproved.

Life is no argument; error might be among the conditions of life.
