In this article we present a brief study on the concept of chaos in the philosophies of Friedrich Nietzsche, Gilles Deleuze and Quentin Meillassoux, in which we identify ruptures and continuities. Consequently, we develop the following points: that the concept of chaos has a primacy over the notion of will to power in Nietzsche’s philosophy; that chaos underlies immanence in Deleuze’s thought; and that Meillassoux’s hyper-chaos, although unconditioned, possesses internal limits that render it quasi-omnipotent. In the conclusion, we define the situation of human beings in the face of these three abysses.
