TORRES SANCHEZ, Rayiv David. The infidelity of the gods: language and simulacrum in Pierre Klossowski. Nóesis, Rev. cienc. soc. [online]. 2018, vol.27, n.53, pp.159-170.  Epub July 03, 2020. ISSN 2395-8669.  https://doi.org/10.20983/noesis.2018.1.8.

Pierre Klossowski made use of the doctrine of the eternal return of Nietzsche in order to question the principle of identity; a false principle that, as the God-One, pretends to be unique and real. Likewise, Klossowski availed themselves of the Nietzschean figure of the “death of God” to discuss the sunset of identity, and to question the certainties deposited in the sufficiency and effectiveness of the language. Thus, in the light of the philosophy of Klossowski, will be in evidence how in its literature and on their interpretation of the myth of the bath of Diana, witnessed the fall of the paradigm of the principle of non-contradiction, which is derived from the rhetorical possibility of the world become fable. This would take place at the moment in which all Scripture is at the level of the fiction, and where all the drills, as Gilles Deleuze said commenting on Klossowski: ascend to the surface. The simulation becomes a ghost.
