contradicts our understanding, or the facts of experience, and brings us up against the “unthinkable” (undenkbar). The fulfillment occurs instantly, meeting with no resistance from the world and requiring no patient effort of knowledge, for a miracle is “as rapid as a wish is impatient,”4 but what could it be if not a fiction where we mistake our desires for reality? What could it be if not the production and projection of an imagination that dreams as it likes of happiness, and never works towards it?

      1 1. Advene (advenir) and advent (avènement) are special terms in the author’s philosophical lexicon, and tie in with his notions of the divide (écart) and, especially, of ex-istence, wherein a subject that is truly alive abides outside of the world, while remaining within it. This is the whole point of the book. An advent here is an occurrence that comes from outside of the world.

      2 2. The first two lines of Louis Aragon’s poem “La Rose et le Réséda,” a call to put religion aside in the resistance against the Nazis.

      3 3. A reference to Henri Bergson’s “supplément d’âme” (literally supplement of soul) – “We must add that the body, now larger, calls for a bigger soul, and that mechanism should mean mysticism”: Henri Bergson, Two Sources of Morality and Religion, trans. R. Ashley Audra and Cloudesley Brereton, London: Macmillan and Co., 1935, p. 310.

      4 4. Ludwig Feuerbach, The Essence of Christianity, trans. Marian Evans, London: John Chapman, 1854.

      5 5. “Then Jesus said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.”

      6 6. Standard French and English translations differ in their choice of synonym. The French word essence figures in, for example, Ludwig Feuerbach, Essence du christianisme, trans. Joseph Roy, Paris: A. Lacroix, Verboechoven & Cie., 1864; the English word nature in Ludwig Feuerbach, The Essence of Christianity, trans. Marian Evans, New York: Calvin Blanchard, 1855.
