Crossing the duality

The space of the logos spreads out between a multitude of antithetic polarities. Look and find in your usual lexicon all the words which have also their opposite there, for example building-destroying, etc. Remove these many antithetic couples. With the remaining words, try to say relevant things. You will measure how much that proves to be impossible. As well it is true that, directly or indirectly, we speak and we think deep down of difference. Speaking and thinking provoke differences which are overtaken ahead.

Thus opens a new space of new possibilities, radically different from the enclosed animal space. A space where difference is indefinitely faced and overcome. It is the specific space of dynamic confrontation and of dialectical going beyond. This dynamics is that of the spirit and the thought.

There is relevance only through the difference. Intelligibility is thus at the price of dichotomies. But in turn these dichotomies must be relativized. Because, concretely, they do exist nowhere in a pure state. They are rather essences or polar concepts at the service of a differential typology, dialectically creative of intelligibility.
