The Metaphysics of Liberty

Philosophy suffers from an far more than convoluted introspection. One result's that innovations multiply unchecked. That a few occasions have observable motives will get reified right into a First reason or, in a extra secular age, to the thesis that each occasion is fatalistically made up our minds. one other quandary of convoluted introspection is that tiny yet the most important assumptions slip in, usually unawares, with the outcome that densely argued counter-tomes are written in answer and no development is made towards any form of consensus.

Example text

An impossible requisit, phenomenologically untenable, whose truth could only be secured in an alliance with another order. Such a dogmatism could only be religious. It has its grandeur, but also its limits. Another word on phenomenology and its method. What is the result of the seizure carried out by Levinas? An original and in­ spiring reuvre? Perhaps. But we can also ask if the two-timing of phenomenology does not compromise Levinas's profound inten­ tion by enclosing it in an abstract schema.

What, however, remains phenomenological in these several pages, unless it is the description and illustration of a thesis that is already acquired? The description does not play any heuristic role; it discreetly posits its images in an edifying space where conceptuality has been blocked, once and for all , on the Other [Autre] . But what Other [Autre] ? To what degree of transcendence, or of conviviality? And how, from the demanding heights of pure exteriority, will we ever descend to the evocations, more or less suggestive, of a phe­ nomenology for a reduced price?

Has he not produced an eidetic discourse in reverse, whose extreme term is the exteri­ ority of the Other [Autre] and which is more empiricist than em­ pirical (which Derrida wanted, without a doubt, to point out)? Apart from the anemia of his existential evocations, Levinas leaves us with profoundly Hegelian sentences (which again Derrida saw), only emptied of all dialectical force: "Desire is desire for the absolutely Other [Autre] . "25 Alterity, having passed into exterior­ ity, makes common cause with an indeterminate absolute where all cats are black and all cows are grey-as you like it.
