Where, then, is optimism? In fate or in chaos?

The southward advance of native African farmers with Central African crops halted in Natal, beyond which Central African crops couldn't grow - with enormous consequences for the recent history of South Africa.
The hypothesis I wish to advance is thatthe language of morality is ingrave disorder. . . . What we possess, if this is true, are the fragments of a conceptual scheme, parts of which now lack those contexts from which their significance derived.
