LOGO - Silva Carvalho

The underground man contradicts himself, yells
that he does not want to be heard and argues
against the coherence of arguments. Instead of
presenting us with the image of human reason
the underground man exaggerates the powers
of disagreement, misrecognition, inconsistency
and a transcendental or excessive malevolence
and stupidity. The stupidity is transcendental
because it destroys the idea of an organising
reason. Instead we see the power of thought to
create ridiculous, ungrounded and bizarre connections
with no end or purpose.
Claire Colebrook reproduzindo
a leitura que Deleuze fez
do ‘The Underground Man’
de Fyodor Dostoevsky.
