ABSTRACT

This chapter explores that the principle of Evil is not in some mystical agency or transcendence, but as a concealment of the symbolic order, the abduction, rape, concealment and ironic corruption of the symbolic order. The principle of Evil is indeed reflected in the subject's misfortune, in his or her mirror, but the object desires to be worst, it claims the worst. We must be just as respectful of the inhuman as certain cultures, which we have therefore labeled fatalistic. Nothing could be more opposed to our modern and technical iconolatry. A human-god is an absurdity. A god who throws off the ironic mask of the inhuman, who abandons the bestial metaphor and the objective metamorphosis where, in silence, it embodied the principle of Evil, providing itself a soul and a face, simultaneously assumes the hypocrisy of human psychology. The object disobeys our metaphysics, which has always attempted to distill the Good and filter Evil.
