ABSTRACT

A rigorous language, as it arises from sexuality, will not reveal the secret of man's natural being, nor will it express the serenity of anthropological truths, but rather, it will say that he exists without God… Thus, at the root of sexuality… at the root of this discourse on God which Western culture has maintained for so long… a singular experience is shaped: that of transgression. Perhaps one day it will seem as decisive for our culture as the experience of contradiction was at an earlier time for dialectical thought. But in spite of so many scattered signs, the language in which transgression will find its space… lies almost entirely in the future.
