COMPARATIVE NIHILISM

Abstract

It is necessary to develop what we could call at the moment a “nihilist comparative”, that is to say, always to have a notion of what was not developed by a work of art or a philosophical essay. The comparison of works with strategical points of similarity is a first step to it, but we need to consider to shadowy part of the work to understand its configuration, its characteristic, its quality. The “absconditus” is a part of the work, as we have a side of the Moon that we normally do not see. It
means we should allow imagination to be a part of hermeneutics.
