'deus absconditus' over the 'deus revelatus'

'The thing itself' over the 'manifest object'.

When Agamben working on his messianic aspects of the notion of the remnants, he use the code 'Musselmann' to denote 'passive prisoner who had given up, had no consciousness or conscience, or despise and not object of sympathy, and was a mere staggering corpse, a bundle of physicality of no consequence' (Agamben, 1999).

Agamben argue that racism is the process by which biopower intervenes (surely following Foucault) and marks breaks within the continuum of humanity and reintroduce the principles of war into the system of 'making lives'.

This 'Musselmann' which is referred to Moslem, was used at Auschwitz.

Whether Agamben realize that the 'Musselmann' he created is 'deus absconditus' over the 'deus revelatus'; only he knows (surely in constant consciousness he accept the idea, might he?).

But most interesting angle to be double re-view is the way Agamben see 'Musselmann' and created Auschwitz where they consent the human of inhuman of 'Musslemann'.

'deus absconditus' over the 'deus revelatus'; is the big picture of all phobia around us.

This is life. Just compromise the pain. There should be only one road.

They might echoed you in circle. But being the-not-you is the only way to be 'you'.
