My name is nobody. About the ''delire des negations''

From the clinic of the negative, the authors parallely analyse in the framework of the linguistic of the enunciation, a modality of the philosophical discourse and of the pathological one. If the connection with Descartes '' tabula rasa '' and Cotard's '' delire des negations '' has already been suggested, on the the contrary the point is here to emphasize the differences. The first one clears out the '' I '' of the enunciation from its own sujectivity ant let it be available to a universal re-enunciation. The other one successively cancels both one's body and the subject of the utterance through delusion. The subject of the enunciation is thus without links and swells to hugeness.
