O carte cu doua personaje: un cunoscut si un necunoscut, care se întâlnesc si se înfrunta. Cunoscutul e Gabriel Liiceanu, în ipostaza lui de persoana publica.

Gabriel Liiceanu: Sa acceptam ca exista gânditori în fata carora te poti "preda", ca gândurile lor, în loc sa fie "digerate pâna la a li se pierde urma", devin totodata, deîndata ce le expui si interpretezi, calea ta privilegiata de acces la lucruri. Nu exista nici o garantie ca numai drumul drept te poate duce la tinta. Exista si ocoluri convenabile. Asa cum exista si exegeze mincinoase. Citezi, sistematizezi, explici. Dar o faci pe fondul unui travesti mental: lasându-l pe celalalt sa vorbeasca, vorbesti si tu odata cu el.

"Platon a sesizat aici, sub forma unui mit ontologic, faptul ca orice iubire este o aluzie la eternitate sau, altfel spus, portia la îndemâna a muritorilor la nemurire. Timpul obisnuit si comun este abolit de continuitatea unui extaz. Ce sublim pare totul! Dar sa ne ocupam acum putin de extaz. Dupa cum numele o spune, extazul nu-i altceva decât o iesire din tine, o instalare în afara ta: ek-stasis."

"Fiecare om isi alcatuieste de-a lungul vietii un edificiu afectiv. Masura in care el este e data de consistenta acestui edificiu, de mana aceea de oameni, ei nu pot fi multi, pe care i-a preluat in el si i-a iubit fara rest, fara umbra, si impotriva carora spiritul lui critic, chiar daca a fost prezent, a ramas neputincios. Acesti oameni putini, care ne fac pe fiecare in parte sa nu regretam ca suntem, reprezinta, chit ca o stim sau nu, stratul de protectie care ne ajuta sa trecem prin viata." (Gabriel Liiceanu)
