DIDIER-WEILL, Alain. Researches on the origin of nihilism and of the original affirmation. Reverso [online]. 2014, vol.36, n.67, pp. 15-24. ISSN 0102-7395.

One can say that each one of us, as subject of the unconscious, is a heretic facing an inquisitor that is inside us, which is the superego. This implies an unequal conflict, because the response of the inquisitor, too often, has the power to disrupt the life of the heretic. Such answer has this power because of a completely mysterious reason, and that is why we are frequently led to prefer the command of the superego, among other causes, by the horror of the subject of the unconscious being questioned and siderated.

Keywords : Superego; Inquisitor; Illuminism; Talmud; Atheism; Biblical monotheism; Paternal metaphor; Sideration; Nihilism.
