Loving History's Fate, Perverting the Beautiful Soul

This essay is addressed to several facets of the relationship between human eroticism and law. Tracing Luce Irigaray's notion of love (to) through the sense of recognition that appears in Hegel's discussion of confession, it argues that the middle voice of love expresses and performs an interest in both intersubjective understanding and open-ended play. Against the law, the felicity of love (to) marks the potential to make history and constitute desire with an Other. It may appear when human identity is set into relation with the productive negativity of its perversion
