Abstract
How does Jean-Luc Marion understand the relationship between knowing and loving, especially in the historical context he outlines of the relationship between metaphysics and the phenomenology of givenness? This paper suggests that the phenomenon of knowingly clinging to a falsehood, especially as analyzed by St. Augustine and developed by Marion, can serve as a path toward answering the question. The truth illuminates in a manner that accuses one who clings to a falsehood (veritas redarguens); in the historical context of metaphysics, the one thus exposed by the light is the “demiurgic” ego, whose godlike transcendental pretentions include erotic intentions just as strong as those found in pre- and post-metaphysical thought. Analysis of the phenomenon of attachment to error suggests that the structure of Augustinian confessio is intrinsic to any philosophical engagement with the truth.
