Este é o chefão. Nota-se logo pelo facto de estar sentado à mesa, e ainda por cima por ser o único que não olha directamente para nós [obrigado João por esta última]. Tem aquele ar de superioridade de quem realmente não tem de aturar ninguém, mas com uma elogiável responsabilidade assumida pelo à vontade com que está perante o livro que inclui os mais importantes detalhes da firma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. É o tesoureiro. Não nos deixemos iludir pela ausência a que está do centro, o ar manhoso indica bem que não está para brincadeiras. Segura na bolsa de dinheiro com firmeza e resolução.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. É o benjamim da firma. Acabadinho de sair fresco da escola, onde alguém (assumimos que o pai ou outro familiar poderoso) o colocou na firma. Mas talvez neste caso o nepotismo funcione, que os traços juvenis dele não o impedem de subir rapidamente para a confiança do chefe, estar aliás sentado ao lado dele, e ainda por mais a pegar no próprio livro com que o chefe se está a retratar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. O sicofante. Não usa chapéu. No último plano, por detrás do chefe, como quem olha por detrás do ombro dele, obsequioso.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. O sénior. Deu muitos anos da vida à firma, e agora, apesar de "reformado", não quer deixar de se sentir ligado a ela agora que há este plano para um retrato de grupo. Nem a senioridade lhe vale poucas vantagens: aparece de lado, é verdade, e no extremo esquerdo da imagem, mas é também a única personagem cuja cadeira, aliás requintada, aparece.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. O tipo que não faz bem parte da firma.&amp;nbsp; Que está sentado e não está sentado. Está em segundo plano, atrás do chefe-sénior, mas na realidade o seu tronco inclina-se para a frente de tal forma a que assume na realidade um falso primeiro plano. E o que é mais, basta ver o estilo com que tem o chapéu, de lado sem estar de lado, como um verdadeiro cowboy da finança, para o topar. É o tipo que a firma chama quando tem de resolver algum problema para o qual simplesmente não está pronta. Ele lá recebe a chamada, suspira, e exige o chorudo pagamento que sabe será pago. Sabem o Winston Wolf, do Pulp Fiction? É este gajo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vou apresentar isto como provas de Doutoramento a História de Arte. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;na imagem: &lt;i&gt;Síndicos da Guilda dos Trapeiros&lt;/i&gt;.

A coragem que é exigida ao kosmos é a coragem da repetição. O Sol tem de ousar nunca se cansar de sempre surgir no horizonte. As galáxias têm de ousar nunca se cansar de umas as outras orbitar. As leis da phýsica têm de ousar nunca variar. A Repetição a maior coragem. Somos platónicos: a nossa melhor arte é sempre igual, igual a si mesma, igual ao kosmos. O que é pois um hino, o que é a apotheose duma symphonia? É a inesgotável auto-fundamentação da eternidade em arte. Quando acaba um hino? Um hino, uma elegia, nunca acaba, não poderia jamais acabar, não pode pois terminar: soa sempre falso: soa sempre humano demasiado humano: quem ousa dizer que o destino da Nona não seria perpetuar-se em crescentes motivações, no volume altíssimo muito para além da audição humana? acercarmo-nos do fim, ouvirmos o estrondo final, é o orgasmo humano, mas tal não faz a Natureza: Que habita o seu culminar incansável. Assim é o Louvor Absoluto: pois que faz Píndaro encerrando uma ode? a carne é fraca, e a certa altura o humano tem de pousar a caneta, descansar os ouvidos (glória a quem o recusou: Musil, Hölderlin).

O Hebreu passa por três fases na sua longa história. A primeira diz respeito ao tempo antes da revelação da Lei a Moisés. Antes de Deus se-lhe revelar, o Hebreu não tem templo, não tem lugar de culto. É apenas a partir do momento em que precisa de descobrir um espaço onde se possa preservar a memória da revelação histórica do Deus eterno é que ele passa a ter um templo, que equivale ao témenos grego: assim é o Tabernáculo, a morada ambulatória do senhor do deserto; e mesmo a sua conversão no Templo em Jerusalém não altera a sua natureza, é a fixação num espaço do cilindro de acesso do céu e da terra: a fixação da presença de Deus. Com a destruição do Templo inicia-se a terceira, e actual fase (pois nem o Estado de Israel ousará construir o Terceiro Templo): a era da sinagoga. Sinagoga é uma palavra grega que significa reunião, e não é um templo. Existiam sinagogas antes da destruição do templo, mas eram unicamente lugares de leitura da Torah e de reunião pública: com a diáspora e a impossibilidade de aceder ao templo, os ritos são transferidos para aquele que se torna o lugar de reunião da comunidade: mas o foco está na comunidade, não na presença imanente do divino. O problema põe-se do acesso à transcendência, visto que o modo de comunicar com Deus sancionado pela Torah, a saber rituais e sacrifícios no Templo em Jerusalém, se torna impossível: o espaço físico é desenraizado, e a resposta é dupla: o estudo da Torah, tarefa santa, e o cumprir da Lei e do ritual de todos os dias, que honra o Senhor e cuida do mundo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;É essencialmente a resposta cristã. A terceira pessoa da Trindade, o Spírito Sancto, oferece-se ao Cristão para que ele não necessite de lugar —&amp;nbsp;assim sendo, o momento essencial da theologia cristã é o Pentecostes: (&lt;a href="http://bibleresources.bible.com/passagesearchresults.php?passage1=Matthew+18:20&amp;amp;passage2=&amp;amp;passage3=&amp;amp;passage4=&amp;amp;passage5=&amp;amp;version1=25&amp;amp;version2=0&amp;amp;version3=0&amp;amp;version4=0&amp;amp;version5=0&amp;amp;Submit.x=43&amp;amp;Submit.y=2"&gt;Mateus 18:20&lt;/a&gt;); ou ainda, a Eucaristia: quando o espaço físico é substituido por um espaço temporal: o momento da memória é simultaneamente o momento da presença do deus-vivo na reunião dos fiéis; ou ainda, a mýstica: a introspecção pessoal, sem lugar no mundo, sem área alguma ocupar nem profundidade espacial (não é de esquecer que, muito embora historicamente o Livro de Esplendor da Qaballa, o Zohar, só tenha sido escrito no século XII, a tradição tenta perseguir o seu segredo credivelmente apenas até ao momento da destruição do Templo: antes de então não havia necessidade de Mýstica). Tudo isto entendemos pelo nome do lugar de culto: igreja, do grego &lt;i&gt;ekklesia&lt;/i&gt;, assembleia. Tal como a sinagoga hebraica, a &lt;i&gt;ekklesia&lt;/i&gt; define-se não pelo seu espaço mas por quem lá se reune: e Deus não lá reside (a igreja não é um &lt;i&gt;naos&lt;/i&gt;). Assim, quando em algumas igrejas vemos &lt;a href="http://bibleresources.bible.com/passagesearchresults.php?passage1=Matthew+21:13&amp;amp;version1=25"&gt;Mateus 21:13&lt;/a&gt; citado (ou, mais comummente, apenas a primeira metade do versículo), notamos o esquecimento de que tal dito se referia ao Templo em Jerusalém: a Igreja não é a casa de Deus: a Igreja é a reunião dos seus fiéis, e o edifício pouco de sagrado tem.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Da Mesquita nada sei.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4958459272677518429-4745710518106774939?l=pedradaponte.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/feeds/4745710518106774939/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/2011/02/sobre-sinagoga-e-igreja.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4958459272677518429/posts/default/4745710518106774939'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4958459272677518429/posts/default/4745710518106774939'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/2011/02/sobre-sinagoga-e-igreja.html' title='Sobre a Sinagoga e a Igreja'/><author><name>Miguel Monteiro</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11734970760327107820</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-NX1EUt0pBk/TS1UI7wZwbI/AAAAAAAAAS8/55_fBb0TXZQ/S220/holderlin.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958459272677518429.post-5098505935794919591</id><published>2011-02-25T21:05:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2011-02-25T23:48:32.350+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Sobre o Templo</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.touropia.com/gfx/d/famous-greek-temples/temple_of_poseidon_at_sounion.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="475" src="http://www.touropia.com/gfx/d/famous-greek-temples/temple_of_poseidon_at_sounion.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Os Helenos chamavam aos seus lugares de culto genericamente três nomes:&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;hieron&lt;/i&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;naos&lt;/i&gt;, e&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;temenos&lt;/i&gt;. Desta última palavra encontramos um correspondente etimológico latino em&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;templum&lt;/i&gt;, que obviamente origina a nossa palavra templo (a palavra igreja é derivada do grego também, mas da palavra&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;ekklesia&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;que significa assembleia).&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Hieron&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;refere-se à santidade do lugar, pois significa simplesmente 'santo', no sentido de divino.&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Naos&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;refere-se ao lugar central do templo onde era colocada a imagem do deus, e significa exactamente&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;lugar onde o deus habita&lt;/i&gt;. Ora&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;temenos&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;é a etimologia mais curiosa, conquanto célebre:&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;temno&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;em grego significa cortar. O&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;temenon&lt;/i&gt;, ou o&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;templum&lt;/i&gt;, é o espaço pertencente ao mundo profano que é cortado do céu até à terra, que o sacerdote circunda numa área do mundo de modo a que essa área se erga como um cilindro até aos céus, e o seu espaço correspondente de terra e de horizonte é separado daquilo que a rodeia para passar a fazer parte da realidade celeste. (É por esta via que Heidegger faz a sua leitura n'&lt;i&gt;A Origem da Obra de Arte,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;o templo enquanto obra de arte que estática se coloca no lugar central que liga o céu e a terra, os mortais e os imortais.) Assim sendo, a popular etimologia para a palavra religião, do latim&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;re-ligo&lt;/i&gt;, voltar a ligar, é por uma luz encandescida: participar do templo é ligar-se ao domínio dos deuses, e é a possibilide de contacto; a necessidade de transcendência humana, assim como a do próprio deus, é mitigada, e há pouco espaço para misticismo, pois há pouca necessidade de introspecção e de acesso individual a esse deus, que existe na presença, pois o seu domínio passa a &lt;i&gt;estar&lt;/i&gt; na terra: o seu templo permanece um espaço presente e mundano, conquanto cortado deste e portanto é uma casa que não se pode sentir em casa, como um daimon ou um herói cuja sombra passa "indistinta, em passo veloz" (Cavafy); mas a participação do deus é possível ao cultor (o Cristianismo que necessitará da mística vem longe). E por uma luz escura: a ironia da palavra obriga a que a ligação aos céus obrigue o templo, o deus, e o mortal que deles comungue a do mundo se separar: cortar-se, para não mais ser deste mundo: a ligação implica a separação, o golpe de sangue entre dois reinos: não é apenas o deus que não é mais deste mundo, mas também o seu fiel, que oscila entre céu e terra na ambiguidade da pertença: o contágio é o resultado, a sacralização da terra, a humanização do deus, desconfortáveis feridas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4958459272677518429-5098505935794919591?l=pedradaponte.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/feeds/5098505935794919591/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/2011/02/sobre-o-templo.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4958459272677518429/posts/default/5098505935794919591'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4958459272677518429/posts/default/5098505935794919591'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/2011/02/sobre-o-templo.html' title='Sobre o Templo'/><author><name>Miguel Monteiro</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11734970760327107820</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-NX1EUt0pBk/TS1UI7wZwbI/AAAAAAAAAS8/55_fBb0TXZQ/S220/holderlin.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958459272677518429.post-1255807940623881162</id><published>2011-02-25T10:31:00.007+01:00</published><updated>2011-02-25T17:55:51.191+01:00</updated><title type='text'>a coisa mais triste do mundo</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;§1&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Que vantagem é que tiramos de ouvir um homem dizer que se viu livre do jugo, que não acredita mais que haja um Deus que vele pelas suas acções, que se considera o único mestre da sua conduta, que não presta contas a ninguém a não ser a si mesmo?

Pense-t-il nous avoir porté par là à en avoir désormais bien de la confiance en lui, et à en attendre des consolations, des conseils, et des secours dans tous les besoins de la vie? Pense-t-il nous avoir bien réjouis de nous dire qu'il doute si notre âme est autre chose qu'un peu de vent et de fumée, et encore de nous le dire d'un ton de voix fier et content? &lt;b&gt;Est-ce donc une chose à dire gaiement; et n'est- ce pas une chose à dire au contraire tristement, comme la chose du monde la plus triste?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;§2&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;«E que faz o santo na floresta?», perguntou Zaratustra.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;O santo respondeu:&amp;nbsp;«Faço canções e canto-as.

É&amp;nbsp;sobre Admeto, a quem os deuses permitirão evitar a morte se alguém morrer por ele. Ele tenta convencer os pais, eles recusam-se, mas a sua esposa Alcestes aceita. Admeto não se opõe, deixa que ela morra por ele, passa o resto da peça a chorar até que por fim Hércules trá-la do submundo e tudo fica bem. Sei lá, é&amp;nbsp;justo de quem ama oferecer-se para morrer por quem ama, mas é igualmente justo de quem ama de volta recusar-se a que o outro morra. O que vem daqui apenas os fados o sabem,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mas nesta peça, desde a soap-opera completa, ao anti-trágico que não consegue ser cómico, à completa previsibilidade e antecipação, ao melodrama, às personagens irremediavelmente tontas, é tudo parvoíce. A única coisa que se aproveita em toda a peça é a fala em que o pai do imbecil do Admeto, Feres, lhe atira as mimalhices à cara e o manda deixar de se comportar como um hipócrita. Assim sendo, vou citá-lo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;FERES&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ó filho, a quem te vanglorias tu de injuriar? A algum lídio ou frígio comprado a dinheiro? Não sabes que sou tessálio, filho de pai tessálio e um homem nascido livre? Exageras na insolência e agrides-me. Não será impunemente que me lanças essas palavras pueris. Gerei-te e criei-te para seres senhor desta casa, mas não é meu dever morrer por ti. Essa é lei que não faz parte da tradição da nossa família, que os pais têm de morrer pelos filhos. Isso não é próprio dos Helenos. Feliz ou desgraçado, a vida é tua. Aquilo que tinhas a receber de mim, já tu o conseguiste. São muitos os súbditos que te obedecem, grande a extensão de terras que te hei-de deixar, muitas jeiras, as mesmas que recebi do meu pai. Portanto, em que te prejudiquei? De que te privo? Não morras por este homem que eu sou, que eu também não morro por ti. Gostas de ver a luz do dia? Não te parece que o teu pai também gosta? A vida é curta, mas doce, enquanto o tempo lá em baixo é longo, imagino. Sem sombra de pudor, lutaste para não morrer e continuas vivo, soubeste escapar ao que estava designado pela fortuna, que a matou a ela. E falas da minha cobardia, tu que és um cobarde, vencido por uma mulher que morreu por ti, um belo jovem? Encontraste foi forma de nunca morrer, esperto, se convenceres sempre a mulher que tiveres a morrer por ti. E agora invectivas os teus amigos por não quererem fazê-lo, quando tu próprio és um cobarde? Cala-te! Nota que se amas a tua vida, todos amam as suas. Em troca dessas injúrias que proferes, hás-de ouvir muitas outras similares e verdadeiras.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Eurípides&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;i&gt;Alceste&lt;/i&gt;, in &lt;i&gt;Obras Completas I&lt;/i&gt;.

Isto dizemos nós, escandalizados, enquanto olhamos de fora para dentro. Urge rememorar, porém, que se trata de algo muito maior, e que essa atitude de pudor ofendido é criminosa. Lembro o poema do Pessoa Eros e Psique "Conta a lenda que dormia / Uma Princesa encantada / A quem só despertaria / Um Infante, que viria / De além do muro da estrada. / [...] / E, inda tonto do que houvera, / À cabeça, em maresia, / Ergue a mão, e encontra hera, / E vê que ele mesmo era / A Princesa que dormia."&lt;/s&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;s&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/s&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;s&gt;Passa-se exactamente o mesmo: não é por qualquer tendência europeísta que eu possa ter que deixa de ser verdade que não foi "A Alemanha" quem fez a Shoah: foi a Europa, ou o ideal cultural a que a Europa almejou sempre, e compreender isso implica aceitar o fardo da culpa (haverá fardo maior? compreenderei o que estou a pedir? ouso um Não silencioso) sem uma tirada melodramática de berros e e culpa auto-atribuída: aliás, a única resposta é não responder (o silêncio: Theresienstadt), saber que ao tentar perceber estou a fazer auto-análise, estou a procurar os meus próprios podres.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/s&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;s&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/s&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;s&gt;Pois a Alemanha é um macrocosmos da alma de cada pessoa para quem a cultura é considerada um bem maior. É olhar para as nossas maiores esperanças e ver já um dos resultados possíveis: como quem olha para um familiar e não para um estrangeiro. Cabe-nos isso, cabe-nos aceitar ser Allemani, e não practicar essa cisão condescendente para com a história com que temos de lidar quando quer que tocamos no que nos está no coração, tudo o que de nosso é religioso e científico, filosófico e cultural. As grandes obras alemãs não podem ser lidas como fábulas moralizantes enaltecidas, "não faças assim", ao contrário do que frequentemente ouço (e mesmo saindo da literatura, o recente filme &lt;i&gt;Das weiße Band&lt;/i&gt;, é um perfeito exemplo do mesmo crime).&lt;/s&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;s&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/s&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;s&gt;Por muito fácil que seja explaining away a Montanha Mágica como uma alegoria Alemanha —que é—, onde muitas opções de futuro se propõem em casamento ao jovem Castorp-Alemanha, aqueles sedutores futuros não se lançam apenas ao jovem alemão, mas sim a qualquer povo que se proponha a si mesmo aquilo qu&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;e Hans recebe: um mundo à beira de desabar, a paz senescente dum iluminado futuro por-vir; ou a violência do terror, a bondade do mal, a crueldade que conquista o humano. Ou ler o delírio da subjugação da volição artística ao poder estatal, secular e seguro, providencial, da Morte de Vergílio de&lt;/span&gt; Hermann Broch principalmente por tal ser&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;tal como&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;aconteceu na Alemanha nazi&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"&gt;—&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;quão desviado é isto, que possibilidades de crescimento civilizacional isso não recusa? Para perceber basta pensar em Nietzsche&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"&gt;— &lt;i&gt;como pensar em Nietzsche como um alemão&lt;/i&gt;??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/s&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;s&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/s&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;s&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Mas tudo isto não aconteceu, então?, as histórias são falsas, e a Alemanha&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;(seja ela o que for), não lhes é central? Claro que é; tal como os seus autores o fizeram. Mas nós estamos mais longe, e sabemos que longe de ser uma "peste germânica", aquilo que a Alemanha sonhara para si mesma não foram os son&lt;/span&gt;hos, ou não foram só, dum povo corrompido pelos «pecados dos pais»; antes pelo contrário, foram talvez os mais grandiosos sonhos de toda a Europa, nossos incluídos. Urge ler-nos a nós mesmos e não "àquele povo germânico, estranho". Teríamos sido a Alemanha se tivéssemos ousado. Como então lidar então com a percepção de que o nosso ideal de ousadia seria talmente podre, como o substituir, como sobreviver ao degenerar absurdo do sonho em psicose?&lt;/s&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;s&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/s&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dear-Purchase-Modernism-Cambridge-Studies/dp/0521433304/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1297968775&amp;amp;sr=8-1"&gt;&lt;s&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://img.tesco.com/pi/Books/L/03/9780521433303.jpg" width="256" /&gt;&lt;/s&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;s&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/s&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;(Sobre este tema, na minha lista de leitura, que cresce como a peste.

Quem é ele, o que o motiva? Em vários outros pontos —o incrédulo Tomé, ou a segunda das Grandes Tentações, em que é proposto ao Christo que se lance do pináculo do Templo para que, demonstrando o poder do Milagre, instantaneamente traga os povos para junto de si— em vários outros pontos parece que a única coisa que realmente falta para trazer a vitória final de Israel, quase que a única coisa que seria necessária para trazer à terra a "Jerusalém celeste" seria que Deus se manifestasse abertamente, que logo todos os povos da terra acorreriam à vera crença.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ora que faz o Pharaóh? Essencialmente o oposto. O Pharaóh é uma espécie de paragono da anti-fé: que diriam vocês se, à ordem de alguém, o rio se ensanguescece, caísse fogo do céu, e o vosso corpo apodrecesse de peste? Posso facilmente afirmar que a grande maioria se não mesmo a totalidade de nós não tardaria a reconhecer a superioridade da divindade revelada: se os milagres são filosoficamente impossíveis, nada melhor que testemunhar um para comprovar a verdade de quem pode fazer o impossível.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mas não o Pharaóh, e eu amo-o por isso: é impossível saber, mas não é improvável que a última pessoa a recusar a partida dos Hebreus tenha sido ele mesmo, que já a restante totalidade do povo egípcio crêsse no poder do Senhor manifesto nas nove anteriores pragas. Ele possui o tipo de fé que apenas o mais poderoso crente pode ter: é o perfeito crente religioso, o perfeito ateu. A vera fé não se esvai com meras contingências como factos comprováveis, o verdadeiro crente não se convence do oposto daquilo que acredita unicamente porque a realidade o contradiz completamente (cf o comentário de Ulrich no Homem Sem Qualidades, «"Que farias, para dar sentido ao mundo?" "Abolir a realidade."»).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Assim como o verdadeiro religioso não se convence do oposto da sua fé com uma tabela científica (as «provas da existência de Deus» são, e as sábias, como a de Santo Anselmo, assumem sê-lo, preaching to the converted), assim também o verdadeiro ateísta não se convence do oposto da sua fé (porque sim, o ateísmo é, epistomológica ou cientìficamente falando, uma fé; a única posição 'lógica' dum ponto de vista estritamente racional é um aborrecido agnosticismo) unicamente porque o Senhor se lhe revela.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Que tipo de força pessoal, que convicção profunda não terá sido necessária para isto, para conceder uma base na qual assentar o poder desta vontade que cria mundos e os destrói? Porque ela Nunca quebra. A décima praga, a morte dos primogénitos. Não. Há um golpe humano, demasiado humano. Eu não creio no Deus dos hebreus, mas meu filho jaz perante meus ungidos braços caído: Partam! abandonem-me à minha dor. Mas não há uma convicção, não há um reconhecimento do poder de Deus: mesmo que a décima primeira praga fosse o engolir na terra de toda a Mênfis, não consentiria o Pharaóh se não fosse tocado pessoalmente: é o facto de lhe morrer o filho que o faz mexer. Deus, Moisés fazem jogo sujo: não conseguem nem conseguirão abalar a fé do pharaóh, portanto remendam o problema desviando-se de lhe mudar a fé e concentrando-se em atingi-lo enquanto um ser humano que também ele ama.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mas isso não é quebrá-lo. A fé frágil (a única passível de alguma vez ser quebrada) não sobrevive ao mais pequeno golpe, como um fasce cortado: lembremo-nos de Kierkegaard: se alguma vez creste para ti mesmo que algo está perdido, para ti tudo está para sempre perdido. Não é a fé do Pharaóh que quebra, tanto que o luto faz-se, como todo o luto em tempos de guerra, celeremente: não tardará a recompor-se, e a mandar as suas quadrigas trucidar aqueles escravos fugitivos; e aqui abandonamo-lo, porque sempre será a nossa fé frágil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O pharaóh é o representante último daquilo que a Weil chama o ateísmo purificador, o ateísmo que purgou a sua crença em Deus por completo até chegar ao ponto de purgar o próprio Deus da sua crença. A convicção absoluta que a fé exige ao humano pode apenas nascer da esfera do transcendental, mesmo que seja um transcendental vazio: o ateísmo que se leve a sério é necessariamente religioso. A diferença é que o ateísmo, depois do confronto com o Christo nado-morto, recusa-se ainda assim a dar-se às contingências do real e a prescindir da sua fé, até chegar mesmo ao ponto de&amp;nbsp;retirar a força para combater as Nove Pragas ao&amp;nbsp;acreditar no vazio do nada, no desaparecimento de Deus,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://metrobibleblog.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/moses-and-pharaoh-the-final-plague.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://metrobibleblog.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/moses-and-pharaoh-the-final-plague.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4958459272677518429-5002286559466916304?l=pedradaponte.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/feeds/5002286559466916304/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/2011/02/elogio-do-pharaoh.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4958459272677518429/posts/default/5002286559466916304'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4958459272677518429/posts/default/5002286559466916304'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/2011/02/elogio-do-pharaoh.html' title='Elogio do Φaraó'/><author><name>Miguel Monteiro</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11734970760327107820</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-NX1EUt0pBk/TS1UI7wZwbI/AAAAAAAAAS8/55_fBb0TXZQ/S220/holderlin.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/lYlLrsTxPKk/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958459272677518429.post-5213671633131001561</id><published>2011-02-17T08:00:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-02-17T08:00:03.248+01:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Nur wer der Minne&lt;br /&gt;Macht versagt,&lt;br /&gt;nur wer der Liebe&lt;br /&gt;Lust verjagt,&lt;br /&gt;nur der erzielt sich den Zauber,&lt;br /&gt;zum Reif zu zwingen das Gold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wagner&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4958459272677518429-5213671633131001561?l=pedradaponte.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/feeds/5213671633131001561/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/2011/02/nur-wer-der-minne-macht-versagt-nur-wer.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4958459272677518429/posts/default/5213671633131001561'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4958459272677518429/posts/default/5213671633131001561'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/2011/02/nur-wer-der-minne-macht-versagt-nur-wer.html' title=''/><author><name>Miguel Monteiro</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11734970760327107820</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-NX1EUt0pBk/TS1UI7wZwbI/AAAAAAAAAS8/55_fBb0TXZQ/S220/holderlin.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958459272677518429.post-3696767775549078478</id><published>2011-02-16T03:30:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2011-02-16T10:32:58.723+01:00</updated><title type='text'>love. love.

A última vez que me aventurei nestas &lt;i&gt;profundidades da ontologia&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;foi numa altura da minha vida em que a minha cabeça estava de tal modo metida água, emocionalmente e não só, que levar a sério metaphýsica tão árida, ou ária pelo menos&amp;nbsp;para alguém que em tudo isto se principiava, era uma questão impossível.

Pelo contrário, sei que é nada. Mas mesmo estando perdido ao menos penso que posso, pela primeira vez, por uns instantes parar - e olhar: Agora volto às paisagens escondidas. Sic sic juvat ire sub umbras: talvez seja a hora — vão-se lixar, que se para alguma coisa serve a universidade é pra isto.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4958459272677518429-5644420249326003596?l=pedradaponte.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/feeds/5644420249326003596/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/2011/02/pensar-metaphysica.html#comment-form' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4958459272677518429/posts/default/5644420249326003596'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4958459272677518429/posts/default/5644420249326003596'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/2011/02/pensar-metaphysica.html' title='Pensar Metaphýsica'/><author><name>Miguel Monteiro</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11734970760327107820</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-NX1EUt0pBk/TS1UI7wZwbI/AAAAAAAAAS8/55_fBb0TXZQ/S220/holderlin.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958459272677518429.post-6174891360561425214</id><published>2011-02-15T19:00:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-02-15T19:00:11.471+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Convergência lexical</title><content type='html'>Acabei de me aperceber de que uso as palavras saudável, espiritual, e humano todas com um significado essencialmente idêntico.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4958459272677518429-6174891360561425214?l=pedradaponte.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/feeds/6174891360561425214/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/2011/02/convergencia-lexical.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4958459272677518429/posts/default/6174891360561425214'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4958459272677518429/posts/default/6174891360561425214'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/2011/02/convergencia-lexical.html' title='Convergência lexical'/><author><name>Miguel Monteiro</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11734970760327107820</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-NX1EUt0pBk/TS1UI7wZwbI/AAAAAAAAAS8/55_fBb0TXZQ/S220/holderlin.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958459272677518429.post-3781217733025864971</id><published>2011-02-15T14:38:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-02-15T14:38:27.708+01:00</updated><title type='text'>João Barrento Sem Qualidades</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/2011/01/joao-barrento-you-da-man_01.html"&gt;João Barrento&lt;/a&gt; a falar sobre &lt;a href="http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/2010/11/im-convinced-your-good-nuns-believed.html"&gt;o Homem Sem Qualidades&lt;/a&gt; de Robert Musil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sexta-feira, 25 de Fevereiro.

Para responder falei sobre culturas anteriores onde a divisão ou separação de outros existenciais culturais como a religião ou ciência ainda não estariam separadas da arte, mas que, conquanto assimilada a essas outras realidades humanas, existia ainda assim aquilo que precipita a &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;necessidade humana da arte&lt;/i&gt;, a saber a necessidade humana de permanência. Concluí portanto que Não, um mundo sem arte não só não seria possível como seria também uma contradição.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ao que o professor me respondeu desmantelando o meu problema histórico, transformando-o num problema político: o problema não era saber o antes antigo, mas sim aquilo que o presente nos ensinou: o contra-exemplo foi, incluindo no tema em questão, a saber a reflexão de Hannah Arendt sobre a obra de arte enquanto fruto do &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;pensamento&lt;/i&gt;, sugerir o exemplo histórico dos totalitarismos nos quais, na proporção em que não haveria pensamento, não haveria também obras de arte: sendo que portanto a resposta seria Sim, é possível um mundo sem obras de arte.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Só então reparei na futilidade que é escrever sobre este ou aquele tema se mais tarde não o incorporo nos meus pensamentos. Ao recusar-me a pensar o presente, ao apressar-me em encontrar um fácil Sim nas brumas do passado, ao afirmar a omni-necessidade da Arte, o que faço eu? Aliás, o que faz todo o Sim que implica a necessidade de tal ou tal coisa? Imediatamente desresponsabiliza: o que o meu Sim diz é: «não é preciso fazer valer a arte, não é preciso combater por ela; ela é sempre necessária, e portanto haverá sempre alguém, &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;qualquer pessoa&lt;/i&gt;, que por ela lute; eu não necessito fazer nada». Por muito que tenha pensado nelas, &lt;a href="http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/2011/02/wagner-e-o-mal-do-rheno.html"&gt;acabei, na primeira oportunidade, por me comportar exactamente como as Donzelas do Rheno&lt;/a&gt;: na primeira oportunidade afirmei a Incorruptibilidade-Intocabilidade do Ouro-Arte, preparando o caminho para que na primeira oportunidade mo-lo roubem.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;O argumento está apenas esboçado, mas outra coisa que interessa notar é que partimos ambos, eu e o professor, para exemplos extremos: pegámos em civilizações estranhas nas quais pudéssemos afirmar que não possuiriam&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt; obras de arte&lt;/i&gt; como estas foram entendidas a partir da modernidade. O meu exemplo funciona, assim como o dele, mas não pude deixar de passar o resto da aula a auto-analisar-me, apercebendo-me tenebrosamente de que é assim que eu penso: ao confrontar-me com um problema, transporto-me imediatamente para o passado, puxo os limites históricos, &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;primitivizo&lt;/i&gt;, ou, para não haver problemas lexicais, &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;vejo as primícias&lt;/i&gt;. Isto corre o risco de se tornar saudodismo ou ahistoricidade mais perigosa: ao invés de olhar para os extremos políticos do presente, refugio-me na certeza da estabilidade do passado imperturbável. No &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;Nostalgia do Absoluto&lt;/i&gt;, Steiner pensa Lévi-Strauss como aquele que encontra o paradiso no estudo do passado incorrupto, sendo que o presente já estaria de tal maneira podre que nada o poderia resgatar. Eu desdenho tal vista, e desse modo entristece-me aperceber-me de que dou por mim precisamente a pensar de modo semelhante.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4958459272677518429-7640529640573537289?l=pedradaponte.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/feeds/7640529640573537289/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/2011/02/imitando-as-donzelas.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4958459272677518429/posts/default/7640529640573537289'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4958459272677518429/posts/default/7640529640573537289'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/2011/02/imitando-as-donzelas.html' title='Imitando as Donzelas'/><author><name>Miguel Monteiro</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11734970760327107820</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-NX1EUt0pBk/TS1UI7wZwbI/AAAAAAAAAS8/55_fBb0TXZQ/S220/holderlin.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958459272677518429.post-5511010338659542027</id><published>2011-02-03T16:46:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-02-03T16:48:50.213+01:00</updated><title type='text'>O mundo da arte, o mundo da futilidade</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;O mundo de coisas feito pelo homem, o artifício humano construído pelo &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;homo faber&lt;/i&gt;, só se torna uma morada para os homens mortais, um lar cuja estabilidade suportará e sobreviverá ao movimento continuamente mutável das suas vidas e acções, na medida em que transcende a mera funcionalidade das coisas produzidas para o consumo e a mera utilidade dos objectos produzidos para o uso. A vida no seu sentido não biológico, o tempo que transcorre entre o nascimento e a morte do homem, manifesta-se na acção e no discurso, que têm em comum com a vida o facto de serem essencialmente úteis A «realização de grandes feitos e o dizer de grandes palavras» não deixarão qualquer vestígio, qualquer produto que possa perdurar depois de passar o momento da acção e da palavra falada. Se o &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;animal laborans&lt;/i&gt; precisa do auxílio do &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;homo faber&lt;/i&gt; para atenuar o seu labor e minorar o seu sofrimento, e se os mortais precisam do seu auxílio para construir um lar na terra, os homens que agem e falam precisam da ajuda do &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;homo faber&lt;/i&gt; na sua mais alta capacidade, isto é, a ajuda do artista, de poetas e historiógrafos, de escritores e construtores de monumentos, pois, sem eles, o único produto da sua actividade, a história que eles vivem e encenam, não poderia sobreviver. Para que venha a ser aquilo que o mundo sempre se destinou a ser — uma morada para os homens durante a sua vida na terra — o artifício humano deve ser um lugar adequado à acção e ao discurso, a actividades não só inteiramente inúteis às necessidades da vida, mas de natureza inteiramente diferente das várias actividades da fabricação mediante a qual são produzidos o mundo e todas as coisas que nela existem. Não é necessário que escolhamos aqui entre Platão e Protágoras, nem decidamos se é o homem ou um deus que deve ser a medida de todas as coisas; o que é certo é que a medida não precisa de ser nem a compulsiva necessidade da vida biológica e do labor, nem o «instrumentalismo» utilitário da fabricação e do uso.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hannah Arendt&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;i&gt;A Condição Humana&lt;/i&gt;, Roberto Raposo (trad).

No seu tratado &lt;i&gt;Sobre a Liberdade do Cristão&lt;/i&gt;, Lutero admite que os dois evangelhos possam ter sentidos antitéticos e complementares: o Antigo simbolizaria a Lei à qual total obediência era impossível. Quando confrontado com as exigências morais do Decálogo e dos profetas, é impossível ao ser humano não se sentir destruído pela infinita superioridade de Deus. Seria portanto um evangelho cujo objectivo era reduzir o humano ao seu mais ínfimo, destruir-lhe por completo o orgulho e a sobérbia. E nessa altura, após lhe haver sido demonstrada a sua insuficiência ontológica, Deus oferece o Novo Testamento. Mas o que é o Novo Testamento? Lutero resume-o simplesmente em &lt;i&gt;amor de graça&lt;/i&gt;. O humano é ínfimo, não consegue cumprir aquilo que Deus dele exige (no AT), e por conseguinte nada merece. Ainda assim Deus ama-o. E esse amor de Cristo é aquilo de que o humano pode ter a certeza, por menos merecedor dele que se sinta.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Lutero conta a história de como se costumava auto-detestar na sua culpa da sua insuficiência, como por muito que se confessasse ritualmente nunca se sentia verdadeiramente limpo. Até que falou com um monge seu confidente que lhe pediu que compreendesse que quando Deus, pela boca do sacerdote, diz &lt;i&gt;os teus pecados foram perdoados&lt;/i&gt;, Lutero tinha de aceitar a verdade desse perdão: Cristo suplanta o Decálogo como o Novo completa o Velho (então Mateus 5:17, μὴ νομίσητε ὅτι ἠλθον καταλῦσαι τὸν νόμον ἢ τοὺς προφήτας· οὐκ ἦλθον καταλῦσαι ἀλλὰ πληρῶσαι, Não pensem que vim para dissolver a Lei ou os Profetas; não vim para os dissolver mas para os completar.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Assim do mesmo modo me parece que la Weil, por muito marcionista que frequentemente pareça (marcionismo é a heresia cristã de que o Antigo Testamento é obra duma espécie de Arquidemónio, enquanto que o Novo é a verdadeira palavra de Deus), acaba por poder 'funcionar' enquanto um Novo Antigo Testamento: as obrigações morais, a intransigência em ferida dos seus imperativos de auto-redução, tudo isso parece oferecer um sistema ético paralelo ao oferecido no Antigo Testamento, com a diferença que lá era uma ética prática, e aqui é uma ética teológica ou existencial. Mas finalmente, ambas coincidem: uma palavra divina impossível de ser humanamente vivida, muito embora, se efectivamente vivida, fosse possivelmente a mais "pura" vida alguma vez vivida; palavra essa que, ainda assim, porém, por absoluta que seja&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 15px;"&gt;—&lt;/span&gt;ou precisamente por ser talmente Absoluta&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 15px;"&gt;—&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;se subsome na Agapê.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Nota pessoal, tenho de voltar a pôr aqui links do youtube ou poemas do Wallace Stevens, que isto já começa a ser teologia a mais e não tarda nada esqueço-me de que sou assim a modos que mais ou menos ateu.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4958459272677518429-1811136284368228782?l=pedradaponte.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/feeds/1811136284368228782/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/2011/02/talvez-o-que-weil-signifique-para-vida.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4958459272677518429/posts/default/1811136284368228782'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4958459272677518429/posts/default/1811136284368228782'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/2011/02/talvez-o-que-weil-signifique-para-vida.html' title=''/><author><name>Miguel Monteiro</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11734970760327107820</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-NX1EUt0pBk/TS1UI7wZwbI/AAAAAAAAAS8/55_fBb0TXZQ/S220/holderlin.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VtJFutq7rtk/SsdQpbj9-tI/AAAAAAAACvA/yW0AV9SiZnY/s72-c/portrait2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958459272677518429.post-967025443497189412</id><published>2011-02-01T01:42:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2011-02-01T02:26:44.197+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Vendo o Fogo da Voz Viva</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://magicstatistics.com/wp-content/pictures/art/ElGreco_Pentecost.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://magicstatistics.com/wp-content/pictures/art/ElGreco_Pentecost.jpg" width="297" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Há muito tempo atrás escrevi um post aqui a que chamei &lt;a href="http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/2009/12/ver-linguagem.html" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ver a Linguagem&lt;/a&gt;. Hoje li finalmente a passagem que mo ilustra:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Durante a grandiosa manifestação física da presença de Deus no Sinai, o povo de Israel participa intensamente na cena. Primeiro quer precipitar-se em direcção do monte, depois retrais-se assustado pelas explosões de fogo e pela potência da voz de Deus. No capítulo quarto do livro &lt;i&gt;Devarìm&lt;/i&gt; / Deuterónimo, revela-se um detalhe daquele momento. Deus adverte no versículo nove: «Não esquecerás as palavras que viram os teus olhos».&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mas nós sabemos que nas encoastas do Sinai os hebreus escutaram palavras, não as viram. Poucos versículos mais à frente lemos: «E falou-vos &lt;i&gt;Iod &lt;/i&gt;/&amp;nbsp;Deus de dentro do fogo: a voz das palavras escutastes e imagem não vistes, excepto uma voz» (Dt 4,12).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ainda aqui aparece uma voz que se vê, além de escutar. A escritura aqui não se engana nos verbos, mas narra uma experiência prodigiosa já descrita no livro &lt;i&gt;Shmòt&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;/ Êxodo, onde está escrito que o povo vê vozes, raios e a voz da trombeta e o monte que fumega. Neste versículo, o 18 do capítulo 20, misturam-se sob o único verbo «ver» coisas que dizem respeito à vista e outras que deveriam ser do ouvido. O que significa?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Dois mestres do Talmud interrogaram-se sobre isto, produzindo respostas diferentes. Rabbi Ishmaêl procura o sentido razoável e explica que povo via aquilo que era visívil e ouvi aquilo que era audível. Rabbi Akivà pelo contrário conserva o sentido literal e explca que viam a voz de Deus feita de palavras de fogo. Em apoio refere o versículo do salmo 29 onde se lê: «A voz de &lt;i&gt;Iod&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;/ Deus solta chamas de fogo» (SL 29,7), ou seja, forma com o seu sopro uma escritura indandescente.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;É isto que viam os hebreus no Sinai: ali a revelação manifesta-se a temperaturas altíssimas. Rabbi Akivà com o escrúpulo de se ater ao sentido literal, ensina que a verdadeira audição, quando é intensa, coincide com a visão. Quem está profundamente atento tem a impressão de ler, não só de ouvir, as palavras que escuta. É uma experiência que toca ao de leve a tensão mística.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;No deserto a voz de Deus é tão potente, ruidosa, que confunde os sentidos, provoca vertigens no ouvido interno, que na anatomia se chama labirinto.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Aquela escuta ninguém poderia suportar. À distância de segurança, através da escritura plana de um livro nós somos avisados: «Não esquecerás as palavras que viram os teus olhos» (Dt 4,9). Hoje aquelas palavras somente as podemos ver lendo a experiência física daquelas aventuras sagradas, a salvo daquela voz escaldante que desordenava os sentidos de quem estava inteiramente, em carne e osso e nervos, à escuta.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Erri de Luca.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Caroço de Azeitona&lt;/i&gt;, João Pedro Brito (trad).

Escrever um post, um mero post a lembrar o Dia Internacional de Recordação da Shoah corre o risco de ser demasiado menos, demasiado pouco, e de se transformar num exercício de futilidade narcisística. O que é que exactamente pretendo fazer, posso pretender fazer? Lembrar? Mas lembrar não implica que nos possamos esquecer, pior, que possamos já ter esquecido? Como posso sequer tomar uma acção que implique que tal atrocidade já possa ter sido esquecida? Aceitar o esquecimento como legítimo, talvez até justo, não é isso que faço ao lembrar? Honrar? Mas quem? Prevenir o futuro, um futuro que pareço crer possível de recriar a barbárie? Mera consolação pessoal, como quem manda um desejo de feliz aniversário, a marcar uma data no calendário? É um labirinto onde a morte não está apenas no centro mas sim cujas próprias paredes são a morte.

To succeed totally in finding consolation in art would be to enter a prelapsarian kingdom. Father Chirstopher Devlin has a very fine phrase to define the themes of Hopkins's sermons -- "the lost kingdom of innocence and original justice", which is a lovely resonant phrase; and without in any way aligning myself hubristically with Hopkins, I would want to avail myself of Devlin's phrase, because &lt;b&gt;I think there's a real sense in which every fine and moving poem bears witness to this lost kingdom of innocence and original justice. In handling the English language the poet makes an act of recognition that etymology is history. The history of the creation and the debasement of words is a paradigm of the loss of the kingdom of innocence and orignal justice.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;roubado&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://homepages.wmich.edu/~cooneys/tchg/wby/GHill.html"&gt;daqui&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4958459272677518429-4551649186935314779?l=pedradaponte.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/feeds/4551649186935314779/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/2011/01/este-blog-e-alimentado-base-de-geoffrey.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4958459272677518429/posts/default/4551649186935314779'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4958459272677518429/posts/default/4551649186935314779'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/2011/01/este-blog-e-alimentado-base-de-geoffrey.html' title='este blog é alimentado à base de Geoffrey Hill'/><author><name>Miguel Monteiro</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11734970760327107820</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-NX1EUt0pBk/TS1UI7wZwbI/AAAAAAAAAS8/55_fBb0TXZQ/S220/holderlin.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958459272677518429.post-5088759880559931671</id><published>2011-01-25T14:08:00.005+01:00</published><updated>2011-01-25T14:44:21.002+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Uma Seta de Fogo</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://tesla.liketelevision.com/liketelevision/images/lowrez/bernini_st_teresa_avila.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://tesla.liketelevision.com/liketelevision/images/lowrez/bernini_st_teresa_avila.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Formosura Que Excedeis!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Formusura que excedeis&lt;br /&gt;mesmo as grandes formosuras!&lt;br /&gt;Sem ferir, sofrer fazeis,&lt;br /&gt;e sem sofrer desfazeis&lt;br /&gt;o amor das criaturas.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Oh, laço que assim juntais&lt;br /&gt;duas coisas tão díspares!&lt;br /&gt;não sei porquê vos soltais,&lt;br /&gt;pois atado força dais&lt;br /&gt;pra ter por bem os pesares.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Quem não tem ser vós juntais&lt;br /&gt;com o Ser que não se acaba;&lt;br /&gt;sem acabar acabais,&lt;br /&gt;e sem ter que amar amais,&lt;br /&gt;engrandeceis vosso nada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¡Oh hermosura que excedéis!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ¡Oh hermosura que excedéis&lt;br /&gt;a todas las hermosuras!&lt;br /&gt;Sin herir, dolor hacéis,&lt;br /&gt;y sin dolor deshacéis&lt;br /&gt;el amor de las criaturas.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;¡Oh ñudo que ansí juntáis&lt;br /&gt;dos cosas tan desiguales,&lt;br /&gt;no sé por qué os desatáis,&lt;br /&gt;pues atado fuerza dais&lt;br /&gt;a tener por bien los males!&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Juntáis quien no tiene ser&lt;br /&gt;con el Ser que no se acaba;&lt;br /&gt;sin acabar acabáis,&lt;br /&gt;sin tener que amar amáis,&lt;br /&gt;engrandecéis vuestra nada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Santa Teresa de Ávila.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;Seta de Fogo - 22 poemas &lt;/i&gt;(José Bento, trad). Assírio &amp;amp; Alvim: 2011.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ao colar o texto original deste poema, resolvi procurar online para não ter de o transcrever por completo, e depois comparei as duas edições para estabelecê-lo pela edição da A&amp;amp;A. Até aqui nada de novo. Porém: não terá escapado ao leitor do poema que, por bom que o poema seja, não se justificaria se não fosse pela absolutamente brilhante última estrofe. O ser mortal com o Ser divino, a unificação de um com o outro; a redução de Deus (cf: Isaac Luria) pela pedra de toque do ser já reduzido dos mortais, conciliado com a negação do amor (ou, melhor dizendo, o &lt;i&gt;amor negativo&lt;/i&gt;) da tradição mística, culminando tudo no paradoxo da glorificação do nada: "engrandecéis vuestra nada": um vazio glorioso (Ein Sof), glorificado pela memória do antigo deus evanescido. Tudo isto é maravilhoso: mas há muitas edições (algo que qualquer pessoa&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=%22engrandec%C3%A9is+nuestra+nada%22+teresa+de+%C3%A1vila"&gt;pode comprovar&lt;/a&gt;) que reduzem a maravilha do última verso a um "nuestro nada". O Nada de Deus é desintegrado na visão tradicional do Nada do humano: a visão do &lt;i&gt;Ecclesiastes&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;etc, que por humana que seja, porquanto transforma o humano na inconsequencialidade cósmica à qual apenas o Divino pode dar razão e justificação, não só translada o poema para a esfera do pensamento religioso 'tradicional', como também coloca a teologia negativa à mercê das consequências destructivas da morte de Deus, ao invés de, indo ao encontro dessa morte, florescer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

Foi filho de David Aboad e de Isabel da Fonseca, bisneto do gaon de Castela que deixara a Espanha em 1492 e procurara refúgio em Portugal, na cidade do Porto. E nesta cidade, na Rua de S. Miguel, vive com a família, mediante um pagamento ao rei de 50 maravedis. Os seus pais, cristãos novos mas judaizantes, mudaram-se para Castro Daire que abandonaram quando Isaac Aboad tinha apenas 6 ou 7 anos de idade. Em 1612 a família instala-se em Amsterdão onde o filho mais ovo estuda o Talmud com Uriel da Costa, tendo como colega e companheiro Menasseh ben Israel, filho de pais portugueses,oriundos da ilha da Madeira. Isaac Aboad da Fonseca, com apenas trinta e um anos, é nomeado hakham da Congregação Beth Israel de Amsterdão e em 1638 é o judeu mais novo da Talmud Tora. Em 1641 vai para o Recife como Rabi e acompanha o ensino dos jovens na escola da Sinagoga.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;De regresso à Holanda, Aboad da Fonseca, &lt;b&gt;com o seu pendor místico&lt;/b&gt;, traduz obras cabalísticas do espanhol para o português e &lt;b&gt;em 1665 impulsiona o movimento de apoio ao falso Messias, Sabbatai Zevi&lt;/b&gt;. Grande comentador do Pentateuco, autor de várias elegias fúnebres, o seu nome é uma referência na literatura sagrada dos judeus. No Brasil, &lt;b&gt;foi amigo de Padre António Vieira&lt;/b&gt; que muito apreciava a sua vasta erudição.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Isabel Monteiro&lt;/b&gt;, a quem muito me gabo posso chamar avó, &lt;i&gt;Os Judeus na Região de Viseu&lt;/i&gt;. Região de Turismo Dão Lafões: 1997.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a isto acrescento:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In 1642, Aboab da Fonseca was appointed rabbi at Kahal Zur Israel Synagogue in the Dutch colony of Pernambuco (Recife), Brazil. [...] By becoming the rabbi of the community, &lt;b&gt;Aboab da Fonseca was the first appointed rabbi of the Americas&lt;/b&gt;. [...] Members of his community immigrated to North America and were among the founders of New York City. Back in Amsterdam, Aboab da Fonseca was appointed chief rabbi for the Sephardic community. In 1656,&lt;b&gt; he was one of several scholars who excommunicated the famous philosopher Baruch Spinoza&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Aboab_da_Fonseca"&gt;Fonte&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Naturalmente, não há absolutamente nada cá em Castro Daire a apontar a vida deste homem, nem nada que lhe reclame a herança.

Não como relíquias sarcofagizadas nos seus túmulos de métrica, nem como meras curiosidades cujos pormenores it just so happens alguns idiotas academicamente úteis resolveram fazer copy-paste para as suas obras, as quais posso portanto agora estudar (ou: no jargão, posso 'estudar a recepção'). Como amigos amá-los-ei mesmo enquanto discordo deles na mais profunda das nossas cisões, e o concordar não me dará a satisfação bajuladora, mas sim a satisfação agitada de haver mais um degrau fime onde possamos desenvolver alguma estória. Dão-me prendas, tantas, portanto que mais posso eu fazer se não dar-lhes também eu as prendas que os séculos lhes foram compondo e adiando. A vantagem desta estranha filologia em relação à, say, Filosofia, mostraram-no os grandes exemplos culturais, é o laço não jazer num amor da sabedoria deferida mas sim num amor mais histórico, ou tanatológico, o laço é então a própria sabedoria dum amor condenado.

I,</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Percepções duas me perturbam. Um: isso de haver tanta palavra, tanto pensamento, tanto mundo fora de mim; isso, digamos, a monstruosidade disso, a quantidade leviatânica alquando concebida por alguém- Que significa? Que de articular me defrustro? Assim como eu me esvaio em pensar, e do pouco sangrar esse algum transmorfo em verbo; assim também todos os outros pelos séculos mortos dos séculos. Mais que eu penso, pensam todos. Não à qualidade: A Quantidade. É por aí, pelo confronto com o &lt;i&gt;tanto&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Isso é terrivelmente ético. A Grécia falou assim: &lt;i&gt;anagnarósis&lt;/i&gt;reconhecimento. que acontece no momento de mudança da fortuna do herói. Isto: no momento em que reconhecemos naquele estranho o nosso irmão, nesse segundo devemos somos levados -a bem ou a mal, ça veut dire dans l'enthousiasme- somos convencidos da certeza da bondade desta destruição: Édipo é ainda bem destruído. deve igualmodo morrer a Antígona Sua. Seja! Aceitar a destruição, amar a aniquilação. Mas a minha? Não [esta é Segunda]: aceitar a das palavras essas todas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Escondidas nas palavras, mascaradas de palavras, há outras palavras: por detrás dos ditos há a memória, a infância, profundamente ainda mais: a desgraça absolutamente individual que religiosamente se poderia talvez em tempos dizer merecer caridade mas hoje tem de merecer o Sim piedoso e destruidor: como o imperador que manda matar, é esse o Sim que tem de ser dado às lágrimas de todo o Tempo. Poderia não o fazer: mas ressuscitaria ele, teria ele o poder da ressurreição? Não: tê-lo-ias &lt;i&gt;tu&lt;/i&gt;?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Então não o condenes: não te condenes. Mais do que eu já te tenho de condenar às tuas lágrimas, e tu às minhas inditas palavras. Que pode a política? Esconder as lágrimas sob a máscara da felicidade. A honestidade? Aquela honestidade que as palavras únicas infazem? O olhar de compaixão no rosto da humanidade eterna? Qual é o rosto da caveira?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Como Cícero de todos os mortos que nunca o saberiam: Assim: como fazer de todas as palavras já ditas apagadas? Isto nada de nada tem de ético: é invejǒssocrático: é uma experiência comparável à de Longino: ver o morto deus e sentir-se &lt;i&gt;longe&lt;/i&gt;: um número tão desaritmético de ideias, de profundos pessoais pensamentos porventura desprezíveis. Esta quadra é a mística imanente possível. Esta quadra resume aquele dever-eu-ser que sinto que devo &lt;i&gt;genesthai oios eimi mathon&lt;/i&gt;. Contra esta quadra talvez eu seja anti-trágico. Seja&amp;lt; Por agora)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have learned one thing: not to look down&lt;br /&gt;So much upon the damned. They, in their sphere, &lt;br /&gt;Harmonize strangely with the divine&lt;br /&gt;Love.

É um projecto imenso que exigiria uma enorme cultura e uma extraordinária delicadeza e sensibilidade porque, nas asas dos anjos, exprime-se tanto uma complicada cultura teológica como uma liberdade de fantasias e loucura, sem limites nem prescrições. Asas dos anjos de Cavallini em Santa Cecília, no Trastevere, tão multiformes que embrulham e escondem dentro delas a criatura celeste; asinhas desesperadas que batem freneticamente nos anjos de Giotto; trémulas e subtilíssimas asas de Simone Martini que terminam em penas de pavão; asas de borboleta do Beato Angelico; asas cor-de-rosa e azul vivo de Pisabello; imensas asas cor-de-rosa e azul celeste dos anjos de Signorelli, que tocam as trembetas da Ressureição; asas apenas esboçadas de Correggio e Parmigianino; asas que parecem ensanguentadas no anjo músico de Rosso Fiorentino; asas, entre as da pomba e as da águia, no &lt;i&gt;Descanso durante a fuga para o Egipto&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;de Caravaggio; asas escancaradas e tão robustas do Greco...

Os meninos sentados na sala admiram as figuras de pano e pensam que são elas que cantam e dançam, que conhecem o amor e o ódio, a alegria e a dor. Os olhos das crianças são cegos.

O evangelho é o de Marcos. Orestes dilacera-se entre a culpa que será sua se cometer o maior dos crimes, o matricídio, e, séculos mais tarde, Cristo recua, vacila, tropeça e escorrega de terror até ao instante em que interioriza por completo os desígnios do seu Pai. O grego sabe do que tem de prescindir, mas algo lhe parece tão monstruoso que até a providência &amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 15px;"&gt;—&lt;/span&gt;a Vontade de Deus&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 15px;"&gt;—&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;lhe dirigir a palavra, até Pílades lhe comunicar o &lt;i&gt;fiat&lt;/i&gt; divino, Orestes não pode matar, Cristo não pode morrer. Ambos acabam por lançar o Ja-sagen por entre lágrimas, e perguntamo-nos se a lâmina de Orestes não são os pregos no corpo do Cristo: são uma única lâmina, a espada de Orestes, a faca de Abrahão, a lança de Longino, são o golpe contra aquele que Deus ama, e, porquanto sabemos que&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Dieu ne peut aimer que soi. Nous ne pouvons aimer qu’autre chose&lt;/i&gt;, é um vero golpe contra o Deus, contra la somma sapienza e 'l primo amore. A todos é necessária a renúncia, o Sim de Nietzsche: mas renúncia não apenas martirífica, como Thomas à Beckett do &lt;i&gt;Murder in the Cathedral&lt;/i&gt;, Orestes não pode cometer o pecado se estiver seguro de que será recuperado pelo deus num dia futuro, pelo tribunal das Atenas: se Thomas se lançasse para a morte seguro da graça divina, isso seria "the last temptation [,] the greatest treason: / to do the right deed for the wrong reason": Orestes tem de matar Clytaemestra não por amor a Agamémnon (e isso compreenderam-no Strauss e Hoffmannstahl &amp;nbsp;melhor que ninguém, ao fazerem um Orestes absolutamente tépido na &lt;i&gt;Elektra&lt;/i&gt;), nem por amor à casa dos Atridas, nem pela justiça: Orestes tem de matar por amor à palavra sancrosancta de Apollo; e Orestes é um filho desse deus sanguinário de Délfos, assim como o Cristo é um filho desse deus sanguinário de Sinai: como o filho conhece o pai, o ama por entre os seus erros e não o pretende mudar: quando Orestes mata não espera ser perdoado, quando Cristo morre não espera ser ressuscitado: esperar isso seria tentar a Graça: the greatest treason [o maior acto de piedade, o acto acessível apenas ao Cristo: beatificar com um único acto de absoluto amor Meleto e Judas]. Na tragédia do Mundo Orestes é apedrejado pelos Atenienses, e o Christo não pode sequer &lt;i&gt;ser&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;excepto enquanto&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Crucified Lord.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4958459272677518429-2935129801646901009?l=pedradaponte.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/feeds/2935129801646901009/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/2010/12/orestes-christo-secundum-la-weil.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4958459272677518429/posts/default/2935129801646901009'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4958459272677518429/posts/default/2935129801646901009'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pedradaponte.blogspot.com/2010/12/orestes-christo-secundum-la-weil.html' title='Orestes &amp; Christo, secundum la Weil'/><author><name>Miguel Monteiro</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11734970760327107820</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-NX1EUt0pBk/TS1UI7wZwbI/AAAAAAAAAS8/55_fBb0TXZQ/S220/holderlin.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958459272677518429.post-3724472515549610729</id><published>2010-12-15T02:31:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2010-12-15T02:31:59.026+01:00</updated><title type='text'>da Constituição Alemã</title><content type='html'>Pormenores absolutamente espantosos.

Estas dicotomias relacionam-se intimamente, ainda que de formas complexas. A música pode ser usada para maus fins quando é composta e executada para glorificação da tirania política, do &lt;i&gt;kitsch&lt;/i&gt; comercial. Pode ser, e já foi, tocada suficientemente alto para abafar os gritos dos torturados. Esses usos, de que é emblemática a exploração da música de Wagner, mas também da Nona de Beethoven (recorde-se o apontamente de Adorno!), são absolutamente contingentes. Não derivam da música em si, não negam a extraterritorialidade ontológica e formal da música relativamente ao bem e ao mal. Avesso a Wagner, Lukács perguntou se haveria um único compasso de Mozart que pudesse ser usado para fins políticos, que pudesse exprimir um mal intrínseco. Quando eu falei deste desafio a Roger Sesssions, o mais gentil dos compositores, este respondeu, sentando-se ao seu piano e tocando a ária ameaçadora da Rainha da Noite na &lt;i&gt;Flauta Mágica&lt;/i&gt;. Contudo, acrescentou imediatamente: "Não, Lukács tem razão."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;George Steiner&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;, Errata: revisões de uma vida&lt;/i&gt;.
