Lesson from Sassure

Not knowing: nihilism is not the negation of knowing but its possibility. The possibility of negation is the possibility of being insofar as it is relational. Knowing is double negation. Philosophy is the negation of that double negation. In other words, its task is to jump across three abysses, to look across three negations, from being to knowing to the possibility of knowing, and to turn it into a single one that can be crossed.
