The spectral as a spectrum deconstructs binary oppositions by challenging the ontological adequacy of binary categories such as life and death, presence and absence, and reality and imagination.
[...]
It defies clear categorizations because it exists both “between” and “beyond” binary oppositions, embodying a spectrum of possibilities and appearing as a specter – something that is not fully present yet not entirely absent. The revisability of history haunts the whole world with this insubstantiality and lack of essence, rendering ontology a kind of hauntology.

The spectral essence of freedom tears beings apart as much as it brings them together in the conspiracy of Eros and Strife to play the longest game of all games. Every victory and every defeat, every triumph and every tragedy, is trumped by a wildcard — by a Joker. Or if it is a deck of Tarot cards, then the card of the Devil. Except that the Devil is a woman in disguise.

What defines a caress — as opposed to touching, grasping, holding and taking — is an absorbed languor that almost forgets itself. It abandons the intellect’s intentional deliberation and delivers itself over to the presence of the other’s body as experienced through one’s own. The seat of consciousness moves from the mind to stomach, and one feels compromised and vulnerable amidst the world.
The “shiver of pleasure” brings forth embodiment, but if one becomes reflexively conscious of it and begins to seek it as a goal one loses sight of the Being of the other, who instead becomes an object of one’s subjectivity. If this occurs, eros is defeated for one can never possess the transcendent Beauty of the other as “object.” All of one’s grasping and penetrating, and ultimately even one’s climax of pleasure, become pervaded by the torturous refusal of surfaces.

By discovering or creating new concepts through irreverent questioning and bold exploration, the philosopher dethrones gods and other tyrants — including a tyrannous majority — who enforce ignorance, in order to break the chains of societal stagnation with disruptive innovation. Like a thief he breaks into places that are off limits, and there is something of an arsonist in him.
