“Recommencer la Connaissance” – CIORAN
Croire à l’histoire, c’est convoiter le possible, c’est postuler la supériorité qualitative de l’imminent sur l’immédiat, c’est se figurer que le devenir est assez riche par lui-même pour rendre l’éternité superflue. Que l’on cesse d’y croire, aucun événement ne conserve la moindre portée. On ne s’intéresse plus alors qu’aux extrémités du Temps, moins à ses… Continue lendo “Recommencer la Connaissance” – CIORAN
“A Portrait of Civilized Man” – CIORAN
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOx7UQ0mD3E Our determination to banish the irregular, the unexpected, and the misshapen from the human landscape verges on indecency : that certain tribesmen still choose to devour their surplus elders is doubtless deplorable, but I cannot conclude that such picturesque sybarites must be exterminated; after all, cannibalism is a model closed economy, as well as… Continue lendo “A Portrait of Civilized Man” – CIORAN

“A fanatic without conviction” – Charles NEWMAN

Blogul lui VASILE CHIRA, Februarie 15, 2012 I. Dominants grounded in the structure of transcendence 1. Sanctity and mystical ecstasy Cioran’s obsession about sanctity goes back to the inner biography of the thinker, rather than to the factual one. Having an indisputable weakness for the voluptuousness of ecstasy, he also maintains a queer duplicity towards… Continue lendo “Dominants of Cioranian thinking” (Vasile Chira)
