"Demented pretension to the invisible, when the acute experience of the human in the twentieth century teaches that the thoughts of men are borne by needs which explain society and history, that hunger and fear can prevail over every human resistance and every freedom! There is no question of doubting this human misery, this dominion of the things and the wicked exercise over man, this animality. But to be a man is to know that this is so. Freedom consists in knowing that freedom is in peril. But to know or to be conscious is to have time to avoid and forestall the instant of inhumanity. It is this perpetual postponing of the hour of treason--infinitesimal difference between man and non-man--that implies the disinterestedness of goodness, the desire of the absolutely other or nobility, the dimension of metaphysics." －－Totality and Infinity 這一次我是被"Freedom consists in knowing that freedom is in peril."這句逼上來的。 好像這輩子終於有人肯好好跟我講話了。
