Description
Summary:Nihilism deconstructs the modern subject, the ego that fully disposes of itself and conquers the world outside itself by grasping it with its concepts. It would be easy to declare that the "I" is now a dying reality and reduce it to its biological components, its instinctive mechanisms and the phantasmagorical play of its own interpretations. Yet it is precisely by going through and beyond nihilism that the "I" can "be" itself. It is a question of rethinking its irreducibility, or rather its uniqueness, which does not consist in the performance of an anthropocentric power, but rather in the capacity to perceive meaning, in the faculty of desire and in the perception of the infinite implicit in the experience of finiteness.
