Mal dormi la nuit derni\u00e8re. Je relis les notes prises dans la marge du Trait\u00e9 des Principes de Damascius (j’essaie d’\u00e9crire une introduction pour d’\u00e9ventuels lecteurs du grand philosophe platonicien). <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Note \u00e9trange, Damascius & Thomas Bernhard : La pens\u00e9e croit faire un pas en avant, mais \u00e0 peine se sent-elle port\u00e9e vers les hauteurs qu’une force invisible la tire en arri\u00e8re. On bute sur une aporie, on pressent une issue possible, mais, patatras (si je puis dire, qui n’a rien de grec, quoique), une nouvelle aporie se pr\u00e9sente, plus implacable encore, et nous voil\u00e0 bon pour tout reprendre \u00e0 nouveaux frais. Rien n’est assur\u00e9, il faut reprendre et encore reprendre, le style du grand autrichien sans doute, voil\u00e0 ce que j’avais en t\u00eate vers trois heures du matin.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Autre griffonnage : La procession de l’indicible. Toute chose, m\u00eame la plus modeste dans l’\u00e9chelle de l’\u00eatre proc\u00e8de \u00e0 la fois du dicible et de l’indicible. De l’un \u00e0 la mati\u00e8re, tout se d\u00e9plie et se d\u00e9ploie dans un clair-obscur relatif – l’indicible, l\u00e0-haut, l’est par exc\u00e8s, mais il l’est ici-bas par d\u00e9faut. (Je m’\u00e9tais pris \u00e0 r\u00eaver, quand j’\u00e9tais \u00e9tudiant, il y a fort longtemps, d’une boucle que personne n’avait os\u00e9 boucler, de l’ineffable au-del\u00e0 du tout \u00e0 l’indicible oc\u00e9an obscur et sans forme – r\u00eave de jeune m\u00e9taphysicien malheureux sans doute, menac\u00e9 par la folie).<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Je note : cette affinit\u00e9 avec W.R. Bion – l’inconnu (qui donc avait \u00e9crit ce po\u00e8me d\u00e9j\u00e0, \u00ab\u00a0l’inconnu me d\u00e9vore\u00a0\u00bb ?, ha oui, Xavier Grall – j’ai lu ce texte il y a si longtemps). Bion donc. La mani\u00e8re bizarre dont je lis Bion – au point que personne ne comprend ce dont je parle, m\u00eame ceux qui le lisent. Toute chose manque \u00e0 \u00eatre. Faire \u00e9merger la douleur – t\u00e9moin du non \u00eatre, la douleur fondamentale – et quand la psychanalyse \u00e0 son terme laisse un champ de ruines, quand dans un \u00e9clair de lucidit\u00e9 l’oc\u00e9an obscur et sans forme engloutit les derni\u00e8res illusions, ne reste plus que la douleur, et peut-\u00eatre la philosophie, la cr\u00e9ation, l’apprentissage serein du d\u00e9sespoir (que les th\u00e9rapeutes de mes deux qui pensent r\u00e9ellement s’inspirer de la psychanalyse en prennent de la graine bordel)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Et je note aussi : C.E. Gadda, La Connaissance de la douleur. r\u00e9cit le plus \u00e9trange qui soit. Gadda, Bion, Damascius. Les col\u00e8res de l’ing\u00e9nieur dans son jardin, je les connais trop (\u00ab\u00a0Un grotesque comme celui-ci ne se niche pas dans la perversit\u00e9 machinante du foie de l’auteur de la Connaissance mais dans le foie machinateur de la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 universelle.\u00a0\u00bb dit Gadda). Une r\u00e9volte contre l’imb\u00e9cilit\u00e9 des abrutis d’une langue sans creux et sans r\u00e9serve, d’une langue exclusivement vou\u00e9e \u00e0 recouvrir l’incertitude et les traces du n\u00e9ant. Ma haine des scientistes v\u00e9n\u00e9rant des cerveaux.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Chaque \u00eatre, m\u00eame le plus m\u00e9diocre dans l’\u00e9chelle de l’\u00eatre, poss\u00e8de une dimension m\u00e9taphysique. L’inconnu comme seul horizon valable – le reste n’est que ressassement et pens\u00e9es rem\u00e2ch\u00e9es, d\u00e9j\u00e0 pens\u00e9es, mortes et re-mortes (les pens\u00e9es pensantes de Spinoza). La douleur et le doute, l’\u00e9cart ressenti entre ce qui se dit et ce qui est, ces petits ab\u00eemes qui jalonnent nos r\u00e9cits de vie, le pressentiment, le \u00ab\u00a0tourment\u00a0\u00bb, dit Damascius, que l’aporie secr\u00e8te : une vie qui vaut la peine d’\u00eatre v\u00e9cue (dans le doute et la douleur). Cette disposition spectrale \u00e0 pressentir l’immanence d’un non-\u00eatre, d’un d\u00e9faut de l’\u00eatre, lire dans les ph\u00e9nom\u00e8nes la trace d’une trace qui sans cesse de s’effacer menace.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
L’aporie me d\u00e9vore – pourrait-on dire, et me transforme. \u00c0 s’y confronter avec rigueur, le chercheur prend note (comme je le fais cette nuit) de son inextinguible d\u00e9sir (dont l’objet est indicible, qui n’est pas un objet d’ailleurs, mais rien et m\u00eame rien de rien) devient philosophe.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Damascius donc :<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00ab\u00a0Et nous comment pourrions-nous avoir ces soup\u00e7ons \u00e0 son sujet (de quelque mani\u00e8re que nous les ayons) s’il n’y avait en nous quelque trace de cette nature, quelque chose qui pour ainsi dire nous presse d’aller vers elle ?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Peut-\u00eatre faut-il dire aussi qu’\u00e9tant indicible elle communique \u00e0 toute chose une participation indicible selon laquelle il y a aussi en chacune quelque chose d’indicible?\u00a0\u00bb <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Mais aussi, en tout petit \u00e0 peine lisible : mes amours philosophiques alternent entre l\u2019exub\u00e9rance parfois d\u00e9mente des mondes th\u00e9ologiques et philosophiques de Proclus, et la rigueur dramatique de Damascius – selon l’\u00e9poque et la saison, je penche vers l’un plut\u00f4t que l’autre. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
