To work with the thought of who self-entitled as “a foreign to himself, to God and to the police”, the Romanian who was settled in France, Emil Cioran (1911 – 1995) is such as complex challenge – sometimes an exhausting, obscure one –, as dangerous. We have to remember that this writer confessed not to have ideas but obsessions, which give us the clue to a tension and hurt written by the despair. His dangerous thought is not dealing with ideas with a neutral sense in the abstraction, but with a livingness experience: Cioran’s written seems to us a burning confession, which falls apart. Those written on fire have the own darkness as a fuel. However, what darkness? Issues such as despair, loneliness, suicide, pain, failure, insomnia, exile, cause in us this kind of written of which we concern. Written that not only sew its form to its substance but also rub in the exercise of its practicing. It is by the writing that Cioran launch us to the heart of the darkness that he peered. Not asserting himself as philosopher – in the most convenient sense of the philosophy history – and, by the way, wanting a lonely walk in the margins, the risk of relating Cioran in a straight dialogue with the tradition would be the ‘ghost’ that walk around any serious approach. However, it would be exactly this tenuous line, namely, between the philosophy and the margin of the philosophy that matters in our work. We mistrust, here, that this problematic relationship the author presents with all the noise of a fracture and this would be one of his precious singularities in his intellectual production. Cioran, in the most part of his written, oblige us to an active-interpretative reading and this means not to proceed at any teaching which lead the reader gradually to his own thought, but advancing step by step from a conclusion to another one, letting us the hard task of creating, inventing, guessing the way of which his feather trailed. The notion of ‘a fall in the time’ as the centre of his thought allow us to get closer of his own philosophic intentions through a somatospychological written, where he shows his notion of history and a violent attack to the substitute of the fanaticism, the philosophic issue which is the urgent current confrontation |
