ABSTRACT
The theology of the Imago Dei interprets the world and man as images in the empire of the Mirror, and the Mirror itself as image, the absolute Image. Through the spells of the cinematic showroom, the obscurity, the messenger of illumination indefinitely recalls humanity's indestructible relation to the opacity at the origin of all thought, to the void serving as foundation to all cultures, as they busy themselves with scaffolding Reference upon Reference. Every theory of causality posing the cause of causes as objective – from which the chain of normative sequences would proceed – finds itself limited, and even without importance, one approaches the problematic of the Mirror and of specularity in the considered society. The chamber of mirrors conceived by Leonardo also testifies to the state of the discourse of specularity at the dawn of modern European times.
