The Struggle against Meta (Phantasma)-Physics: Nietzsche, Joyce and the "Excess of History"

I think that any modern hermeneutics is a hermeneutics with a double edge and a double function. It is an effort to struggle against idols, and, consequently, it is destructive. It is a critique of ideologies in the sense of Marx; it is a critique of all flights and evasions into otherworlds in the sense of Nietzsche; a struggle against childhood fables and against securing illusions in the sense of psychoanalysis. In this sense, any hermeneutics must be disalienating, aimed at disalienation, at demystification.
