Science, Krieglestein says, attempts to explain chaos, and to the extent it cannot, it then ignores it (30). However, science is using the language it has in this moment, to explain chaos. Like the philosophers, Descarte and Kant, science relies upon its investigation in much the same was the philosophers rely upon nature and rationalism to convert chaos to order. That it is the nature, if not the universe, of mankind to gravitate towards order. This is man's obsession with chaos, to turn it into order.
One of the most recognized names in the history of philosophy is Plato. Dante Germino, Eric Voegelin (2000) shed some light on Plato's obsession with chaos and order, or philosophy, writing, "The motives that induced the young man of a well-connected family not to pursue his natural career in the politics of Athens but insteadto become a philosopher, the founder of a school, anda man of letters, are revealedby Plato himself through an auto biographical passage of the Seventh Letter (324b-326b), written about 353, when he was in his seventies:
When I was young I felt like so many others: As soon as I become my own master, I thought, I would immediately enter public life. But my way was crossed by certain events in the affairs of the polis (Germino and Voegelin 58)."
Krieglestein moves mankind's philosophy and ratio into modernity with a discussion of mankind, who was created by God, whom, having been created, then goes on to create machines - the ultimate creator of order (30). Machines are the bookmark that maintain the order, freeing man to contemplate the next "order" of chaos, or to convert the energy of chaos into the next product of order.
It is no surprise, then, that man harnessed the ultimate tool of order, mathematics (31). With mathematics, mankind has been able to successfully bring about order from chaos on earth, and to finally venture out into the universe where there exists enough...

Humanity seems to unravel altogether in Pi: Faith in Chaos, both written and direct by Darren Aronofsky. Max is a brilliant but socially crippled young mathematician who has built a supercomputer and possibly unlocked the mathematical secrets of the universe, explaining everything from the stock market to God.

Wulf, S.J. (2000). "The skeptical life in Hume's political thought. Polity, 33(1), 77. Wulf uses David Hume's well-known skepticism to advance his concerning the extreme degrees to which philosophy had been taken before returning to less radical modes.
