Instead of using these methods on animals in the interests of research, our own patients will then become the unsuspecting guinea pigs. If Flourens had been right here, the dark paths of the divine world order would have been justified for once. The sus picion would then arise that our relationship with men and creation in general was like our relationship with ourself after an operation oblivion for suffering. But perennial domination over nature, medical and non-medical techniques, are made possible only by the process of oblivion. The loss of memory is a transcendental condition for science.
All objectification is a forgetting.
