Abstract

What is meant by this is that reality should not be confused with factuality: facticity is the part of reality that has come to be, that has triumphed. "Das Wesen ist das Ge-wesene". But what memory says is that what wanted to be and could not, unrealized dreams, those fallen into the gutters of history, is also part of reality.

The truth is not aseptic, timeless, abstract, but a judgment from the experience of suffering. [Fragment]
