“- with the term ‘error,’ you mean to say that things neither show nor hide themselves, not yet belonging to the ‘region’ where there is a place for unveiling and veiling.
– did i say that? i would say rather: error is an obstinacy without perseverance that, far from being a rigorously maintained affirmation, pursues itself by diverting the affirmation toward what has no firmness. essential error is without relation to the true, which has no power over it. truth would dispel error, were they to meet. but there is an error of sorts that ruins in advance all power of encounter. to err is probably this: to go outside the space of encounter.
– i confess to not understanding well your ‘error.’ there would be two kinds: one being the shadow of the true; the other-but this other, i wonder how you can speak of it.
– this is perhaps the easiest. speech and error are on intimate terms.”
