Concept, idea & conoction by Peter Wullen
“Elle devient quelqu’un, elle prend figure. Cette densité ligneuse et têtue se métamorphose en chose surnaturelle, en chose sensible insensible, sensible mais insensible, sensiblement suprasensible.”
“Mais cette transcendance n’est pas toute spirituelle, elle garde ce corps sans corps dont nous avons reconnu qu’il faisait la différence du spectre à l’esprit. Ce qui passe les sens passe encore devant nous dans la silhouette du corps sensible qui pourtant lui manque ou nous reste inaccessible. Marx ne dit pas sensible et insensible, sensible mais insensible, il dit : sensible insensible, sensiblement suprasensible. La transcendance, le mouvement en supra, le pas au-delà.”
Extrait de Jacques Derrida, Spectres de Marx, Editions du Seuil, 2024.
