It sems to me a bit unsatisfactory to me that philosophers of the West, when asked where the cosmic force of Chaos comes from, have to resort to a theist (or animist?) myth to explain it.
Even if they do refer to the foreign myth (it's all those the fault of those pagans!), they should have a logical explanation for it in the terms of their own theological philosophy.
Perhaps I've missed something (highly likely as I'm no expert on malkioni esoterica, though I do try to keep up) and they do?
Does Malkioni theology include a belief in an ultimate apocalypse? If so, presumably Chaos is the primal agent this and therefore part of the cosmic plan?
