" This Eros as the logic of an incarnated, dialectical life which refers to itself...is an unconsciousness...What is this me which is not me, this weight, this surplus on this side of that of me which appears to me...? It is sensing itself...dispossession, ek-stasis, participation or identification, incorporation or ejection....a blind, nondifferentiated recognition (of the touching and the touched, of me and my image over there), the zero - degree of difference. The sensed=I don't know and I have always known it. We do not need to know what it is since we see it...To see is to think without thinking. "
