As you near the end of the book several thing begin to stand out. The writing becomes more chaotic and a new theme is introduced. This idea that in order to understand Quality you have to leave the rational world because Quality exists outside and above our rational way of thinking. It is made clear that Phaedrus did just that. He completely abandoned all reason and rationality. He ignored his wife and child and chose to slip away into chaos and madness in pursuit of his goal.
I don't understand how a man could be that driven toward one thing even if that thing means the end of himself. He abandoned his wife and child! How could someone throw them self into something like that? What end did he want to accomplish?
