Abstract

In this paper I propose to address Emil Cioran’s speech about God and the methodological role this speech occupies in lyrical philosophy. I have in mind the formulation of a dialogue on the discourse of living between God and ‘self’. The divine present in this speech is used to formulate this or that experience. I follow the way in which Cioran draws up a cosmology as a form of counter-theory of Christian genesis. This cosmology is a way that looks to suspend the Christian hypothesis on regard of the birth of the world. Moreover, I follow how faith is constituted from the perspective of lyrical philosophy in relation to Pascal’s wager. I formulate the hypothesis of the ‘self’ as the only tool outside of which it is not worth formulating a discourse. Finally, I approach the difficulty of ‘faith and the divine’ from the perspective of its utility and bring to light its palliative role in relation to the one who believes and to the one who suspends the divine.
