Abstract

A few years ago, Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze worked out a new concept, “the thought of the outside”. In this paper, I suggest that such a thought implies “the thought of the door”. It is in fact by closing a door that an outside appears. But, then, what is a door? In order to answer this question a brief history of the door is sketched out, together with some theoretical reflections on the ontological properties of doors. In the end, the question is raised as to whether it is possible for human beings to live in a world without doors. Why do we need doors? Why today more than ever?
