Rolul paliativ al ideii de rugăciune și al ideii de sinucidere în retorica cioraniană
The palliative role of the idea of prayer and the idea of suicide in Cioranian rhetoric

Summary/Abstract: In this paper we try to follow and analyze the rhetoric of Cioranian thought in the face of the temptation of faith, which, for him is nothing but the impossibility of the mystery of the act of prayer, because the essential revelation thwarted any illusion and therefore invariably argues that salvation is not deification. His only true faith lies in the idea of prayer as a support for enduring moments of dispair, just as reflection on the idea of suicide is a palliative and gives a kind of honor to the one temped by the act of suicide, pushed to the extreme, in moments of ubearable lucidity. The idea of prayer and the idea of suicide can be considered as the only illusions of Cioran, who strongly believes that he got rid of all illusions.
