And what Cioran says of the mystic, in his essay “Dealing with the Mystics,” applies perfectly to his own thought. “The Mystic, in most cases, invents his adversaries…. His thought asserts the existence of others by calculation, by artifice: it is a strategy of no consequence. His thought boils down, in the last instance, to a polemic with himself: he seeks to be, he becomes a crowd, even if it is only by making himself one now mask after the other, multiplying his faces: in which he resembles his Creator, whose histrionics he perpetuates.” ~ Page 21 Yet while Cioran projects a recognizable political stance (though it’s present only implicitly in most of the essays), his approach is not, in the end, grounded in a religious commitment. Whatever his political-moral sympathies have in common with right-wing Catholic sensibility, Cioran himself, as I have already said, is committed to the paradoxes of an atheist theology. Faith itself, he argues, solves nothing. ~ Page 22 ~ Excerpt: "Temptation to Exist"
