Is perception different from identification? Is life more than repetition? The  idiot appears as a figure irreducible to the identity of the general and the particular. The idiot demands everyone to set himself free from the ruling prejudgements and clichés in order to encounter himself beyond representation. Conceptual and esthetical figure at once, the idiot constitutes a singular determination and a specific power incompatible with each social order. He wants to start with a manner of thinking that shares the nature of each individual: to be unique and irreplacable, in other words: to be an idiot. In philosophy, theology and literature, his long history begins with Socrates, continues through Nikolaus Cusanus and hasn t come to an end with Dostojewski. The 20th century multiplies the idiotical interventions. </font></p></td></tr></table></tr></td></table></body></html>
