Lógos as conviction and liberation of man in Cioran’s work
As Heraclitus, Cioran conceives man as a being that possesses lógos and is ruled in his life by it in its multiple aspects. Man not only makes use of word; this word also shapes him and traverses him entirely. Word is the necessary and intrinsic expression of every human being, and, as a result, he...

I15-R231-article-772021-05-05T19:56:51Z Lógos as conviction and liberation of man in Cioran’s work Lógos como condena y como liberación para el hombre en los escritos de Cioran Lescano, Eliana Verónica Cioran lógos word anguish lucidity Cioran lógos palabra angustia lucidez As Heraclitus, Cioran conceives man as a being that possesses lógos and is ruled in his life by it in its multiple aspects. Man not only makes use of word; this word also shapes him and traverses him entirely. Word is the necessary and intrinsic expression of every human being, and, as a result, he cannot elude it. In many of his works, Cioran warns us about the dangers that lógos has for man: not to find his genuine expression in the midst of so many words, and to fall into totalizing fictions that lead us to deception and indoctrination. For this reason, in the midst of this misfortune, Cioran even considers silence as the only possible way out. However, if man denies the mark of language by avoiding all forms of expression, the anguish that his own existence entails will end up destroying him. Paradoxically, Cioran finds that the expression of lógos is the only possible salvation for man from the clutches of death, and that is, why by expressing oneself through lógos, one's own unhappiness becomes a necessary condition of life. Al igual que Heráclito, Cioran concibe al hombre como un ser que posee lógos y que se rige en su vida por él en sus múltiples aspectos. El hombre no solo se sirve de la palabra, sino que, que ésta lo conforma y lo atraviesa por completo. La palabra es la expresión necesaria e intrínseca de todo ser humano y como consecuencia de ello no le será posible eludirla. En muchos de sus trabajos Cioran nos advierte acerca de los peligros que el lógos tiene para el hombre: no encontrar en medio de tantas palabras la genuina expresión, caer en ficciones totalizadoras que nos lleven al engaño y el adoctrinamiento. Por tal razón, en medio de este infortunio, llega incluso a considerar como única salida posible acudir al silencio. No obstante, si el hombre niega esta marca del lenguaje rehuyendo a toda forma de expresión, la angustia que supone su propia existencia lo terminará destruyendo. Paradójicamente Cioran encuentra que la expresión del lógos es la única salvación posible para hombre de las garras de la muerte y que expresar por medio del lógos la propia desdicha se convierte en condición necesaria para la vida.
