As long as there is a criminal element, I’m of it.
As long as there is a soul in prison, I am not free.

4Man is—Hegel dixit—‘an animal sick unto death’, an animal extorted by an insatiable parasite (reason, logos, language). In this perspective, the ‘death drive’, this dimension of radical negativity, cannot be reduced to an expression of alienated social conditions, it defines la condition humaine as such: there is no solution, no escape from it; the thing to do is not to ‘overcome’, to ‘abolish’ it, but to come to terms with it, to learn to recognize it its terrifying dimension and then, on the basis of this fundamental recognition, try to articulate a modis vivendi with it.
