Status Updates From Les transformations silenci...

“is Time not that character of a dramatic fiction we have invented in order to give a name and a face to what we are unable to think, and to make it play a great role, one from which a more painstaking attention to silent transformations would have excused us?”

The Eternal here crosses paths with the temporal, and the breaking open is then total: Creation, Incarnation, Resurrection and so on. And this is because Christianity is that strange religion in which, since its prophet is God on earth, His life becomes the Event cutting off all of History and configuring Time.

The force of silent transformation, an insidious force, lies in its managing to make something go without saying today, completely absorbed by the situation and happening without word, without being noticed, that thing which we would earlier have so strongly denied, so impossible would it have seemed... Even to the extent that we would have been unable to imagine it.

Heidegger again - thought of the 'towards' and the destination, of the wozu and the Zukunft: would mankind not existentially be defined as 'being towards death'? And so the consequence is this statement:
European philosophy has developed without discontinuing a philosophy of death . . . erecting death as an explosive event, one that breaks everything and judges everything.

“Because the Greek cannot escape from the articulation of 'beings', either from declension or from attribution, neither from gender nor from number, and even coordinated as they are, these phenomenalist qualifications remain propped up against Being and leave the gap between them untouched...” Exactly!
