Abstract

This statement requires us to conceive his philosophy as a system of thought based on perception. Accordingly genealogical perception would have the advantage of giving us an insight into the contingent element, whereas we have been too easily satisfied by the belief in a political or anthropological necessity. Nonetheless, we should not seek to shirk an axiological constraint : how can the consideration of contingency legitimately grant a necessary value to that norm which would constitute the “intolerable”?
