Abstract

The elimination of the violence in the speech and in the life is the center of Weil’s thought. This statement is evident through all the philosophic speech that it is developed from two choices: the philosophy and the violence. The philosopher in search of transformation of the violence aims three ways: the first would be remove the violence by the speech; the second would be the removal by the action and the third by reasonable action. For our consideration we choose the first way that it is situated in the paradigm of the language. The conductor wire will be the logic emphasizing the key of understanding with the technical expression: contradiction and non-contradiction. It will be therefore the “deconstruction” of the non-contradiction to the building of the contradiction in the speech and in the reality. The reading turns around the expression “contradiction”, that is the motor of the thinking and of the action and so recovers the logic as the first philosophy. Thus are used the categories, methods and postures of Weil developed along his book Logic of the Philosophy.
