Scouring the inner body with deliberate force to open nit into a regained alterity, and no longer pursuing a quest for "the function of the scheme which is to say the power of the form", such is the hermeneutics of a modern anthropology as shown in Paul de Pignol's work. Botticelli's modern man saw himself in the centre; Paul de Pignol places him on the axis. A new field is freed amongst the shapeless matter of the Venuses and goes infinitely beyond the limits of the ontological problem. Here, the divine essence is contained in the alterity which prepares us for a meaning.
