Muss man alles zeigen, alles sehen, sagen und kennen? Angesichts eines immer blinderen Vertrauens in den Nutzen von Wissen und Information und entgegen der scheinbar unabweisbaren Forderung nach Transparenz auf allen Gebieten, verteidigt Anne Dufourmantelle das Geheime, das Verborgene, das Ungewusste und Rätselhafte als unverzichtbare Ressource menschlicher Existenz. Ebenso behutsam wie eindringlich entwirft sie Elemente einer Ethik des Geheimnisses im Spannungsfeld von gesellschaftlicher Kontrolle und privater Sphäre jedes Einzelnen.

Anne Dufourmantelles Buch ist ein...

Als einen unverbesserlichen Träumer bezeichnete der Surrealist André Breton den Menschen, nichts sei uns eigener als unsere Träume, konstatierte Friedrich Nietzsche, und Sigmund Freud meinte gar, mit der revolutionären Methode seiner Traumdeutung das Totenreich in Bewegung versetzen zu können.

Gentleness is an enigma. Taken up in a double movement of welcoming and giving, it appears on the threshold of passages signed off by birth and death. Because it has its degrees of intensity, because it is a symbolic force, and because it has a transformative ability over things and beings, it is a power.

The simplicity of gentleness is misleading. It is an active passivity that may become an extraordinary force of symbolic resistance and, as such, become central to both ethics and politics. Gentleness is a force of secret life-giving transformation linked to what the ancients...
