For another philosophical writing: metaphysics, poetry and excribing - from Jean-Luc Nancy

Abstract

In this article, we introduce the need of rethinking the writing style of Philosophy from a change in the conceptual paradigm. What matters to Philosophy and to the "form treatise of ontology" is to find a way of saying the Truth, to say which is invariable. When finding this form, it seeks to create a hierarchy of styles, beginning from whom says the Truth, which, in fact, would be the only way to write about the Being and the existence, to the styles that occupy a political and rhetorical function and to poetry, at last, the discourse with less commitment to the truth and the common good. If we no longer advocate the existence of a single truth and we no longer think of language as an instrument to achieve this Truth, that would be Out of the World, but instead of that, we think of existence as singular-plural and all "truth" as a construct of relations in the interior of a world, that will always be a world among other worlds, then philosophy itself must rethink its style and form. Starting from this ineluctable demand for a thought of difference, we will present the arguments of Jean-Luc Nancy (but also those of Jacques Derrida) that support this need of rethinking the writing.
